The concentration of serotonin in the female chicken intestine (10.79 mug/g wet tissue) was significantly higher than in the male (7.98 mug/g). The release of serotonin from an isolated perfused intestine was studied. The intestine continually releases serotonin at the rate of 10 ng per g/min. A number of substances, including glycine, epinephrine, and acetylcholine, caused a significant release of serotonin, with acetylcholine having the greatest effect. Histamine or electrical stimulation did not affect the release of serotonin.
雌性鸡肠道中血清素的浓度（10.79微克/克湿组织）显著高于雄性（7.98微克/克）。对离体灌注肠道中血清素的释放进行了研究。肠道以每分钟每克10纳克的速率持续释放血清素。包括甘氨酸、肾上腺素和乙酰胆碱在内的多种物质会导致血清素显著释放，其中乙酰胆碱的作用最大。组胺或电刺激不影响血清素的释放。
