homeostasis/metabolism
• ~40% decrease in serotonin levels in the frontal cortex and striatum and ~50% and ~70% reduction in the serotonin precursor 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) synthesis in the frontal cortex and striatum, respectively, after treatment with m-hydroxybenxylhydrazine, compared to mice in a 129X1/SvJ background that are homozygous for Tph2Pro447 and have a proline rather than an arginine at amino acid residue 447 of Tph2
