Serotonin Metabolism Parameters in Patients with Chronic Hepatitis and Liver Cirrhosis

Abstract: We studied disorders in serotonin metabolism in patients with chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis of the liver with and without inflammatory process (cytolysis syndrome) and their impact for the formation of depressive disorders. Blood serotonin content decreased in patients with cirrhosis of the liver with pronounced depressive disorders. Serum serotonin level was elevated in all patients with the cytolysis syndrome.

“…The liver plays an important role in serotonin metabolism, being involved in its formation and inactivation. A Russian study revealed that blood serotonin content decreased in cirrhotic patients diagnosed with pronounced depressive disorders [22], [27]. Disturbance in melatonin homeostasis was also observed in patients with cirrhosis [24], [28].…”

“…При различных патологических изменениях в организме в силу тех или иных причин развивается дисбаланс между интенсивностью свободнорадикальных процессов и функциональной активностью антиоксидантной системы (АОС). Он играет ключевую роль при таких широко распространенных заболеваниях, как гепатит, атеросклероз, ишемическая болезнь сердца, нейродегенеративные и аутоиммунные заболевания, диабетические ангиопатии, катаракта, некоторые формы рака, болезнь Дауна [1,2,5,16]. В то же время у некоторых лекарственных препаратов, используемых для терапии этих заболеваний, были обнаружены прооксидантные свойства [4,13].…”
