  2. 1. Studies on 5-hydroxytryptophol and the metabolic interaction between serotonin and ethanol

    Author : Margareta Some; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : serotonin; 5-hydroxytryptophol; 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid; ethanol; metabolism;

    Abstract : The biogenic amine serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5HT) is most abundant within the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), in blood platelets, and in the central nervous system. The 5HT system is involved in many physiological and behavioural processes in the body. READ MORE

  4. 2. New markers of alcohol consumption : development and evaluation of the clinical use of carbohydrate-deficient transferrin in serum and 5-hydroxytryptophol in urine

    Author : Annette Voltaire Carlsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Alcohol drinking; 5-hydrogxytryptophol; 5-hydroxyindole-3-acetic acid; urine; human; ;

    Abstract : Treatment of alcohol dependence and evaluation of treatment and research programs are often based on self-reports of the patients. Since the alcohol consumption pattern does not always relate to the reported behaviour there is a need for validation by reliable biochemical markers. READ MORE

  5. 3. Liquid chromatography : mass spectrometry study of two biochemical alcohol markers

    Author : Niclas Nikolai Stephanson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The interest in biochemical alcohol markers for detecting acute and chronic alcohol consumption has expanded greatly during recent years. The development and application of laboratory tests identifying early problematic drinking and monitoring abstinence have the potential of reducing the healthcare costs and suffering associated with alcohol misuse.
