Research Abstract |
The roles of nitric oxide (NO) in abnormal intestinal serotonin metabolism have been investigated using a model rat of intestinal damage induced by anti-cancer drugs. Among four drugs tested, methotrexate (MTX) specifically caused an increase in NO synthesis, which in turn induced a hyperplasia of ileal enterochromaffin cells and an increase in serotonin synthesis. The stimulation of intestinal NO production did not correlate with the emetogenicity and pro-inflammatory property of anti-cancer drugs.
