In experiments on the white rats it was established that the citalopram in dose 5 mg/kg significantly affects the circadian rhytms of excretory function of kidneys, especially at night. We conclude that serotonin, which content is increased by citalopram, may serve as a neurotransmitter in circadian thytms regulation.

Keywords: circasian rhytm,white rats, citalopram, setotonin
