Levels of monoamines and metabolites in rostral and caudal hypothalamic fragments of young (3–4 months) and old (25–26 months) Fischer 344-rats were compared. There were no differences between fragments of young animals. In senescent rats, 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5HIAA) increased in both rostral and caudal hypothalamus. The ratio 5HIAA/5HT (serotonin), an index of serotonin turnover, increased only rostrally. This age-related increase of 5HIAA/5HT in rostral hypothalamus was associated with a decrease in [3H]-spiperone binding. There were no age-related changes of MAO-A activity in the hypothalamus or of serum tyrosine or tryptophan levels.
