ABSTRACT
Possible role of 5-HT in pregnancy was investigated in albino rats by biological estimation of uterine and placental 5-HT contents in different periods of gestation in normal and drug treated rats. Uterine 5-HT level increased steadily from day-1 of gestation to reach the peak on day-7; thereafter, the level continued to decline throughout the period till day-20 when 5-HT level was lowest. From day-20, a mild secondary rise started and remained persistent even after parturition. The results show that a critical level of 5-HT in early gestational period is necessary for conception. Manipulation of endogenous 5-HT do not influence duration of gestation.
