The influence of exogenous serotonin on cell division of L929 and L-41 cell strains has been investigated under various conditions of cell growth in culture (the incubation either in 10% serum medium without changing the medium, or in the medium with 0.5% serum). The data obtained show that serotonin in physiological concentration (10(-7) M) stimulates proliferation of resting cells. In proliferating cells, compared to resting ones, the sensitivity to exogenous amine appeared statistically non-significant. Exogenous serotonin is suggested to be a proliferating stimulus for resting cells.
