In reply to Serotonin Blood Levels.....What is Normal????, posted by blondemomints on October 22, 2001, at 18:19:46
Blonde - I'm not sure that serotonin blood levels correlate with serotonin brain levels very well. Mostly, serotonin blood levels only measure what is in the platelets. To get an indication of brain levels of serotonin, one would have to have a spinal tap and measure the metabolite of serotonin, 5-HIAA. I am really not sure what a blood level of serotonin really measures. - Cam
