[Serotonin levels and short chain fatty acids in pathogenesis of irritable bowel syndrome]
Abstract:
In 72 patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) the psychological condition and electric activity of brain, serotonin level in plasma, short chain fatty acids (SFA) levels in stool were studied. In patients with IBS in aggravation of disease violations of central nerve system was observed. The increasing of reactive and personal anxious, violations in electroencephalograms and increasing serotonin level with modification of SFA levels were observed. Clinical, psychological and electroencephalographic changes, levels of serotonin and SFA is necessary to analyze for individual treatment program in patients with IBS.
