    Abstract : Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamin, 5-HT) är en neurotransmittor som till största del syntetiseras i tarmsystemets enterokromaffina celler (en typ av neuroendokrin cell) men även på andra platser i kroppen så som i hjärnstammen, till viss del i hjärtat, lungorna och njurarna. I hundens kropp har serotonin en rad olika funktioner så som reglering av tarmmotorik och sammandragning av glatt muskulatur. READ MORE

  3. 7. The effect of prophylactic platelet transfusions on point-of-care coagulation parameters in conjunction to central venous catheter insertion—what effect do transfusions have and are they necessary?
