The inhibition of A and B forms of MAO in the production of a characteristic behabioural syndrome in rats after 1-tryptophan loading.

1-Tryptophan was administered to rats pretreated with selective inhibitors of the A and B forms of MAO deprenyl, a selective inhibitor of MAO-B, produced minor changes in behaviour and in the concentrations of apparent 5-HT and 5-HAA in brain. High doses of clorgyline, a selective inhibitor MAO-A, produced a characteristic stereotyped syndrome of hypermotility and tremor as well as an increase in apparent 5-HT and a decrease in apparent 5-HIAA in brain. Small doses of deprenyl and clorgyline in combination, but not singly, produced maximal effects on behaviour as well as on the concentrations of apparent 5-HT and 5-HIAA in brain. Maximum behavioural and biors before the other. It is concluded that the syndrome may be dependent on the formation of an N-substituted derivative of 5-HT which is at least partly deaminated by MAO-B. Alternatively, the syndrome may be dependent on a sufficiently high concentration of 5-HT in a special compartment where it is partly deaminated by MAO-B.

Intracellular pancreatic B cell serotonin and the dynamics of insulin release.

The role of intracellular pancreatic B cell serotonin in the dynamics of insulin release was investigated in an in situ perfused rat pancreas preparation. Animals were pretreated with 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) to increase the intracellular levels of serotonin (5-HT) as shown by fluorescence histochemistry. Despite a clear induction of intracellular 5-HT fluorescence in pancreatic islets neither the pattern nor the total amount of insulin released were significantly modified after perfusion with either glucose or tolbutamide. However, the L-amino acid decarboxylase inhibitor, RO 4--4602, significantly decreased both phases of glucose-mediated insulin release in normal animals as well as in those receiving 5-HTP.
