Effects of environmental complexity on constituents of brain and liver
TL;DR: It was demonstrated that rats maintained under conditions of ‘environmental complexity and training’ (ECT) had significantly higher btain cortex weights than isolated controls (IC) and the possibility of isolation stress should be pursued further by measuring adrenal and plasma corticoid levels and the activities of several enzymes known to be responsive to high circulatory levels of corticoids.

TL;DR: Results indicated a significant decrease of blood serotonin concentrations in the three youngest patients, a significant increase in platelet counts in the youngest patient, and a similar trend in others.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the behavioral effects observed in monkeys after chronic fenfluramine treatment result from reduced central serotonin, and not in the concentrations of norepinephrine or dopamine.

Serotonin Depletion by Dietary Leucine
Arthur Yuwiler,Edward Geller +1 more
TL;DR: MAPLE syrup disease (branched-chain ketonuria) is an apparently familial disease associated with mental retardation and biochemically characterized by enhanced urinary excretion of branching-chain amino-acids and their products.

Platelet size, number, and serotonin content in blood of autistic, childhood schizophrenic, and normal children.
TL;DR: The results do not support the hypothesis that the hyperserotoninemia in some autistics reflects increased platelet volume, and the idea that blood serotonin concentrations in autistic children are higher than in normal children is not supported.
