The swimming activity of eels maintained in tap water at 8-12 degrees C is significantly decreased after i.p. para-chlorophenylalanine (pCPA) administration at dose of 200 mg/kg (p less than 0.005 to respective control value). 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) restored transitory swimming activity of eels. These results suggest that 5-HT has an important part in locomotor activity of eels.
在8至12摄氏度的自来水中饲养的鳗鱼，腹腔注射剂量为200毫克/千克的对氯苯丙氨酸（pCPA）后，其游泳活动显著降低（与各自的对照值相比，p<0.005）。5-羟色氨酸（5-HTP）恢复了鳗鱼短暂的游泳活动。这些结果表明，5-羟色胺在鳗鱼的运动活动中起重要作用。
