The differential sensitivity of the hypothalamic–hypophysial–ovarian axis to 5‐hydroxytryptophan alters the secretion of estradiol

Abstract Serotonin [5‐hydroxytryptamine (5‐HT)] modulates ovarian function. The precursor of 5‐HT, 5‐hydroxytryptophan (5‐HTP), has been used to treat depression. However, the effects of 5‐HTP on ovarian and reproductive physiology remain unknown. In this research, we analysed the impact of 5‐HTP on...
