Low doses of ketamine do not alter 5-HT and 5-HIAA levels in zebrafish embryos.

Anesthetic dose of ketamine reduces 5-HT levels and abolishes its metabolism to 5-HIAA.

ALCAR reverses the effects of ketamine on the 5-HT level and metabolism.

Anesthetic dose of ketamine reduces serotonin-positive cells in the brain.

Ketamine and ALCAR are being tested as anti-depressants, these results indicate their possible modes of action on the 5-HT system.
