This paper reviews the main findings concerning a possible relationship between disordered serotonin metabolism and manifestations of human (auto) aggression. Most available work suggests a relationship between diminished 5-HT metabolism and suicidal behavior. Moreover, it seems warranted to hypothesize a relationship between disturbed aggression regulation and diminished central serotonin metabolism. Some major methodological shortcomings in biological suicide research--in particular focused on problems with monoamine studies--are mentioned.
本文综述了有关血清素代谢紊乱与人类（自身）攻击行为表现之间可能存在的关系的主要研究结果。大多数现有研究表明5-羟色胺代谢减少与自杀行为之间存在关联。此外，似乎有理由假设攻击调节紊乱与中枢血清素代谢减少之间存在关联。文中提到了生物自杀研究中的一些主要方法缺陷，特别是针对单胺类研究的问题。
