Chemical Information
FooDB NameSerotonin
DescriptionSerotonin, also known as enteramine or 5-HT, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as serotonins. Serotonins are compounds containing a serotonin moiety, which consists of an indole that bears an aminoethyl a position 2 and a hydroxyl group at position 5. Serotonin is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Serotonin exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Serotonin is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as sea-buckthornberries, common walnuts, and oats and in a lower concentration in green beans, red bell peppers, and swiss chards. Serotonin has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as grapes, cocoa beans, pepper (c. frutescens), avocado, and common pea. This could make serotonin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Serotonin, with regard to humans, has been found to be associated with several diseases such as eosinophilic esophagitis, schizophrenia, parkinson's disease, and hypothyroidism; serotonin has also been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder aromatic l-amino acid decarboxylase deficiency.
