Abstract
In contrast to patients with diarrhea-predominant IBS, those with FD have decreased basal and postprandial plasma levels of 5-HT. These findings indicate that the pathogenic mechanism of FD differs from that of diarrhea-predominant IBS, and that strategies to alter 5-HT levels or activity might be developed to treat patients with FD.
