Serotonin Levels and Platelet Uptake during Premenstrual Tension

Taylor, Dorothy L., Mathew, Roy J., Ho, Beng T., Weinman, Maxine L.·2008·Neuropsychobiology

Abstract

Premenstrual tension was studied in 16 females, using both biochemical and psychological parameters during the pre- and postmenstrual phases. Uptake of serotonin (5-HT) and the levels of 5-HT in platelet-rich plasma and platelet-poor plasma were determined. Degrees of distress experienced pre- and postmenstrually were quantified via the Moos menstrual distress questionnaire. The mean V max was significantly lower during the premenstrual (tension) phase (8.2 ± 0.9 pmol/min) as compared to the postmenstrual (normal) phase (14.4 ± 3.2 pmol/min). There was no significant difference in the K m values. A highly significant (p < 0.001) reduction in the levels of 5-HT in platelet-rich plasma (–23.2%) and platelet-poor plasma (-19.1%) was found during the premenstrual phase. There were correlations between the kinetic parameters of 5-HT uptake and some of the Moos symptoms.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
