The concentrations of the serotonin metabolites 5-HYDROXYINDOLE-3-ACETIC ACID (cas 1321-73-9) (5HIAA) and 5-hydroxytryptophol (5HTOL) were determined in spot urine samples of 12 mammalian and one fish species (cat, cow, dog, ferret, golden hamster, guinea pig, horse, monkey, mouse, rabbit, rainbow trout, rat, sheep) and compared with human data. The highest urinary concentrations of 5HTOL were found in the Sprague-Dawley rat (mean 9.5 μmol/L) and NMRI mouse (8.2 μmol/L), and the lowest in rainbow trout, cynomolgus macaque, and human urine (∼0.1 μmol/L). The highest 5HIAA concentrations were found in hamster (89.3 μmol/L) and mouse (85.2 μmol/L), and the lowest in rainbow trout, horse and sheep (range 2.0–3.7 μmol/L). Several species showed 5HIAA concentrations similar to that normally observed in human urine (∼5–40 μmol/L). This study demonstrated wide inter- and intra-species variations in the urinary concentrations of 5HIAA and 5HTOL, both separately and in the sum of concentrations. The 5HTOL/5HIAA ratio, which is used as an easily accessible index of the relative importance of the reductive and oxidative pathways for serotonin metabolism, also varied considerably between different species. This observation confirms that the much higher urinary 5HTOL/5HIAA ratio in rats (mean 0.35) compared with humans (< 0.01) is due to a higher baseline formation of 5HTOL in the rat. The monkey, ferret, hamster, and rabbit most closely resembled humans in this respect, and at least the two latter species appear to be more suitable than rats as animal models for studying serotonin metabolism and turnover rate, and the metabolic interaction with ethanol.
