Administration of cyclophosphamide to rats induces pica and potentiates 5-hydroxytryptamine synthesis in the intestine without causing severe intestinal injury

The consequences of cyclophosphamide on 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) synthesis within the intestinal tissue of rats had been investigated. Rats acquired 120 mg/kg cyclophosphamide intraperitoneally as a single administration, and kaolin and meals consumption was measured by an computerized monitoring equipment.
