Popis: The post-mortem level of 5-hydroxytryptamin (5-HT), formaldehydeinduced fluorescence, argyrophilia, argentaffinity and three other staining reactions were studied in enterochromaffin cells (EC) of the human duodenum in 101 bodies for which the storage time at room and cold (4° C) temperature before autopsy were known. The preservation time of human bodies was 2–77 hours at room temperature and 0–215 hours at 4° C. The duodenal 5-HT level was zero in only one body, in the others clearly analyzable amounts of 5-HT were found. The duodenal 5-HT level did not correlate with storage time of human bodies at room or at cold temperature, respectively, but a low significance (p
