We studied the dynamics of interstitial serotonin during local myocardial ischemia under conditions of ischemic preconditioning in Wistar rats. Ischemic preconditioning increased serotonin content in the dialysate (p=0.003). During 30-min ischemia, ischemic preconditioning delayed serotonin increase just before the 20th min of ischemia. Ischemic preconditioning promoted short-term increase in the serotonin level in the myocardial interstitium but followed by prolonged ischemia, it delayed the accumulation of serotonin in the myocardial interstitium.
