Social and Environmental Influences on Blood Serotonin Concentrations in Monkeys

Michael J. Raleigh, PhD; Michael T. McGuire, MD; Gary L. Brammer, PhD; Arthur Yuwiler, PhD

Arch Gen Psychiatry. 1984;41(4):405-410.

Abstract

Dominant male adult vervet monkeys have whole-blood serotoninconcentrations approximately twice those of subordinate adultmales. We examined the effects of spontaneous and induced changesIn social status, temporary isolation from the social group,and membership in single male groups on whole-blood serotoninconcentrations. We found that in male vervet monkeys, elevatedblood serotonin concentration is a state-dependent consequenceof active occupation of the dominant male social position, andwe believe that a reinterpretation of the significance of hyperserotonemiain humans may be warranted.
