Measurements were made of the serotonin content of tissues from the small intestine and brain of guinea pigs and rats following whole-body exposure to doses of x radiation ranging from 500 to 700 r. A possible connection between the changes in serotonin levels in blood and tissues was studied by parallel investigations of the serotonin level in whole blood from the same animals. Data are tabulated. The changes in serotonin levels in the intestine, brain, and blood were found to be different in rats and guinea pigs. The changes in both were regarded as non-specific disturbances of the shock type. Possible reaction mechanisms involved are discussed. (C.H.)
