1. The effects of risperidone on brain 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) neuronal activity were investigated using microdialysis in the frontal cortex (FC) or the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) as well as single cell recording in the DRN. 2. Systemic administration of risperidone (0.6 and 2.0 mg/kg, s.c.) dose-dependently increased 5-HT output in both the FC and the DRN. 3. Local cortical administration of both risperidone or idazoxan enhanced the 5-HT efflux in the FC, whereas local raphe administration of risperidone but not idazoxan increased the output of 5-HT in the DRN. 4. Systemic administration of risperidone (200 micrograms/kg, i.v.) or the selective alpha 1 adrenoceptor antagonist prazosin (400 micrograms/kg, i.v.) decreased, whereas selective alpha 2 adrenoceptor antagonist idazoxan (20 micrograms/kg, i.v.) increased the 5-HT cell firing in the DRN. 5. Pretreatment with the selective 5-HT1A receptor antagonist WAY 100,635 (5.0 micrograms/kg, i.v.) effectively antagonized the inhibition of 5-HT cells induced by risperidone, but failed to prevent the prazosin-induced decrease in 5-HT cell firing in the DRN. 6. The inhibitory effect of risperidone on 5-HT cell firing in the DRN was significantly attenuated in rats pretreated with the 5-HT depletor PCPA (p-chlorophenylalanine; 300 mg/kg/day i.p. for 3 consecutive days) in comparison with drug naive animals. 7. Consequently, the risperidone-induced increase in 5-HT output in the FC may be related to its alpha 2 adrenoceptor antagonistic action, an effect probably executed at the nerve terminal level, whereas the reduction in 5-HT cell firing by risperidone appears to be associated with increased availability of 5-HT in the somatodendritic region of the neurones leading to an enhanced 5-HT1A autoreceptor activation and, in turn, to inhibition of cell firing. 相似文献

5-HT1A autoreceptor antagonists enhance the effects of antidepressants by preventing a negative feedback of serotonin (5-HT) at somatodendritic level. The maximal elevations of extracellular concentration of 5-HT (5-HT(ext)) induced by the 5-HT uptake inhibitor paroxetine in forebrain were potentiated by the 5-HT1A antagonist WAY-100635 (1 mg/kg s.c.) in a regionally dependent manner (striatum > frontal cortex > dorsal hippocampus). Paroxetine (3 mg/kg s.c.) decreased forebrain 5-HT(ext) during local blockade of uptake. This reduction was greater in striatum and frontal cortex than in dorsal hippocampus and was counteracted by the local and systemic administration of WAY-100635. The perfusion of 50 micromol/L citalopram in the dorsal or median raphe nucleus reduced 5-HT(ext) in frontal cortex or dorsal hippocampus to 40 and 65% of baseline, respectively. The reduction of cortical 5-HT(ext) induced by perfusion of citalopram in midbrain raphe was fully reversed by WAY-100635 (1 mg/kg s.c.). Together, these data suggest that dorsal raphe neurons projecting to striatum and frontal cortex are more sensitive to self-inhibition mediated by 5-HT1A autoreceptors than median raphe neurons projecting to the hippocampus. Therefore, potentiation by 5-HT1A antagonists occurs preferentially in forebrain areas innervated by serotonergic neurons of the dorsal raphe nucleus. 相似文献

Systemic administration of the 5-HT1A receptor agonist 8-OH-2-(di-n-propylamino)-tetralin (8-OH-DPAT; 0.3 mg/kg, s.c.) was used to explore the effects of activation of 5-HT1A receptors on expression of mRNA coding for 5-HT1A receptor, tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH) and galanin in the ascending raphe nuclei. 8-OH-DPAT increased the hybridization signal of the 5-HT1A receptor by 105% in the dorsal raphe nucleus (B7) 30 min after the injection. No effects were seen at the later time points (2-8 h). In the median raphe nucleus (B8) and the B9 cell group in the medial lemniscus, 8-OH-DPAT induced a marked decrease in labeling 30 min after injection. At 8 h following 8-OH-DPAT injection, the effect had shifted to an increase in 5-HT1A receptor labeling by 68% in the B8 area. Importantly 8-OH-DPAT had no significant effects on the expression of mRNA coding for TPH and galanin. The results suggest an important and differential mechanism for the regulation of 5-HT1A receptor mRNA levels in the dorsal and median raphe nuclei. This regulation may be of importance for the differential control of the activity of the ascending 5-HT neurons, and hence for mood regulation. The results also indicate a dissociation between the effects mediated by 5-HT1A receptor functions and those regulating the coexisting peptide galanin in the dorsal raphe. 相似文献

Acute exposure to cold-restraint induces vagal-dependent gastric erosions associated with activation of neurons in the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus (DMN) in rats. The influence of intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) injection of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) (10 micrograms) on c-fos expression in the brain and gastric erosions induced by 3 h cold-restraint was investigated in conscious rats. In cold-restraint exposed rats, CRF injected i.c.v. inhibited gastric erosions and the number of Fos positive neurons in the DMN by 93 and 72%, respectively, while Fos labelling in the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) was increased by 5-fold compared with vehicle group. c-fos expression was also induced in the central amygdala by i.c.v. CRF, unlike the vehicle-injected group exposed to cold-restraint. c-fos expression induced by cold-restraint in the raphe pallidus (Rpa) and paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus was not altered by i.c.v. CRF. These data indicate that central CRF-induced gastric protection results from the inhibition of DMN neuronal activity enhanced by cold-restraint. CRF action on DMN neurons may be related to the increase in the NTS and central amygdala inputs leading to inhibition of DMN neurons rather than to the decrease in the excitatory input from the caudal raphe projections to the DMN. 相似文献

1. The effects of risperidone on brain 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) neuronal functions were investigated and compared with other antipsychotic drugs and selective receptor antagonists by use of single cell recording and microdialysis in the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN). 2. Administration of risperidone (25-400 micrograms kg-1, i.v.) dose-dependently decreased 5-HT cell firing in the DRN, similar to the antipsychotic drug clozapine (0.25-4.0 mg kg-1, i.v.), the putative antipsychotic drug amperozide (0.5-8.0 mg kg-1, i.v.) and the selective alpha 1-adrenoceptor antagonist prazosin (50-400 micrograms kg-1, i.v.). 3. The selective alpha 2-adrenoceptor antagonist idazoxan (10-80 micrograms kg-1, i.v.), in contrast, increased the firing rate of 5-HT neurones in the DRN, whereas the D2 and 5-HT2A receptor antagonists raclopride (25-200 micrograms kg-1, i.v.) and MDL 100,907 (50-400 micrograms kg-1, i.v.), respectively, were without effect. Thus, the alpha 1-adrenoceptor antagonistic action of the antipsychotic drugs might, at least partly, cause the decrease in DRN 5-HT cell firing. 4. Pretreatment with the selective 5-HT1A receptor antagonist WAY 100,635 (5.0 micrograms kg-1, i.v.), a drug previously shown to antagonize effectively the inhibition of 5-HT cells induced by risperidone, failed to prevent the prazosin-induced decrease in 5-HT cell firing. This finding argues against the notion that alpha 1-adrenoceptor antagonism is the sole mechanism underlying the inhibitory effect of risperidone on the DRN cells. 5. The inhibitory effect of risperidone on 5-HT cell firing in the DRN was significantly attenuated in rats pretreated with the 5-HT depletor PCPA (p-chlorophenylalanine; 300 mg kg-1, i.p., day-1 for 3 consecutive days) in comparison with drug naive animals. 6. Administration of risperidone (2.0 mg kg-1, s.c.) significantly enhanced 5-HT output in the DRN. 7. Consequently, the reduction in 5-HT cell firing by risperidone appears to be related to increased availability of 5-HT in the somatodendritic region of the neurones leading to an enhanced 5-HT1A autoreceptor activation and, in turn, to inhibition of firing, and is probably only to a minor extent caused by its alpha 1-adrenoceptor antagonistic action. 相似文献

The present study evaluated the modulatory role of central corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) systems in the mediation of the effects of acute exposure to the brain cannabinoid receptor agonist HU-210 [3-(1,1-dimethylheptyl)-(-)-11-hydroxy-delta 8-tetrahydrocannabinol] on defensive withdrawal behavior in male rats. The apparatus used for the defensive withdrawal test consisted of a small chamber, set on one side of a one-square meter open field. The actions of the potent CRF antagonist [D-Phe12,Nle21,38,C alpha MeLeu37]CRF (D-Phe CRF12-41) were examined on defensive behavior under both novel and familiar conditions. The acute i.c.v. administration of D-Phe CRF12-41 (0.2-5 micrograms/injection) antagonized the defensive behavior response to stressing conditions such as novelty or swim stress in field-habituated animals. The acute i.p. administration of HU-210 (4, 20 and 100 micrograms/kg) produced a clear dose-dependent stress-like effects in field-habituated animals, as reflected in the HU-210-induced increase in both the emergence latency and the mean time spent in the small chamber. The i.c.v. administration of 5 micrograms of D-Phe CRF12-41, 5 min before the administration of the cannabinoid prevented the stressing actions of HU-210 (20 micrograms/kg, but not 100 micrograms/kg). Acute administration of HU-210 also induced a dose-dependent increase in plasma corticosterone levels which was not antagonized by pretreatment with 5 micrograms of D-Phe CRF12-41. The present study suggests a role of central CRF systems in the mediation of the anxiogenic effects of brain cannabinoid receptor agonists. This finding is consistent with a direct hypothalamic effect of cannabinoids on the activation of the pituitary-adrenal axis. 相似文献

Rats (Sprague-Dawley), submitted to a mechanical noxious stimulus (paw pressure), were tested to determine 1) the antinociceptive effects of p.o. (200, 400 and 800 mg/kg), i.v. (50, 100, 200 and 300 mg/kg) and intrathecal (i.t.) (100 and 200 micrograms/rat) administrations of paracetamol; 2) the influence of i.t. administered tropisetron, a 5-hydroxytryptamine3 (5-HT3) receptor antagonist (0.5, 1 or 10 micrograms/rat) on paracetamol-induced antinociception; 3) the influence of indomethacin (25 mg/kg s.c.), naloxone (10 micrograms/rat i.t.) and yohimbine (1 mg/kg i.v.) on the effect of paracetamol (200 mg/kg i.v.) to determine the involvement of prostaglandins, opioids and alpha-2 adrenoceptors. The displacement by paracetamol of radioligand binding to various receptors was also investigated. Paracetamol induced a significant antinociceptive effect after p.o., i.v. and i.t. administration. A total inhibition of the effect of paracetamol, administered p.o. or i.t., occurred at the dose of 0.5 microgram/rat of tropisetron, whereas 10 micrograms/rat of this antagonist was needed to totally inhibit the action of i.v. administered paracetamol. Indomethacin, naloxone and yohimbine failed to modify paracetamol antinociceptive action. In vitro studies failed to show any binding of paracetamol to 5-HT3 and several other receptors and to 5-HT uptake sites. It is concluded that paracetamol has a central antinociceptive effect, based on an indirect involvement of spinal 5-HT3 receptors. 相似文献

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are effective in alleviating the symptoms of depression. However, clinical improvement is only obtained after several weeks of treatment. SSRIs, when administered acutely to animals, have little effect on synaptic levels of serotonin. This suggests the existence of one or more regulatory mechanisms controlling serotonergic neurotransmission. The firing rate of dorsal raphe serotonergic neurons is under the control of somatodendritic 5-hydroxytryptamine 1A (5-HT1A) autoreceptors, the release of serotonin from nerve terminals is under the control of 5-HT autoreceptors (5-HT1B subtype in rodents, 5-HT1D in other species), whereas the control of the activity of tryptophan hydroxylase, the rate-limiting enzyme of serotonin synthesis, is complex, involving 5-HT1A but possibly other 5-HT receptors including the 5-HT1B/D subtype. During prolonged administration with a SSRI, these three feedback systems become desensitized and their regulatory effects on serotonergic neurotransmission are weakened or lost. This has the effect of allowing the synaptic levels of serotonin to rise with a consequently increased stimulation of one or more types of postsynaptic 5-HT receptor. Thus, it is only after prolonged administration that the pharmacological activity of SSRI is fully expressed in terms of synaptic serotonin levels. This may explain the latency of antidepressant action seen with these drugs in humans. Various other classes of antidepressant therapies (tricyclic antidepressants and monoamine oxidase inhibitor drugs, electroconvulsive therapy) have long-term effects on one or more of the feedback mechanisms such that an increase in synaptic concentrations of serotonin may be a common mechanism of many antidepressant therapies. 相似文献

Previous studies [Meller et al. (1990) Mol. Pharmacol., 37:231-237] have shown that a large receptor reserve exists for the inhibition of serotonin synthesis in rat cortex and hippocampus by the 5-HT1A agonist 8-hydroxy-2(di-n-propylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT), whereas little or no reserve exists for the lower efficacy agonists ipsapirone and BMY 7378. The current studies were undertaken to determine if the above drugs exhibit similar relative efficacies and receptor reserves in an electrophysiological model of 5-HT1A receptor activation, i.e., the inhibition of dorsal raphe cell firing. Intravenous dose-response curves were constructed in untreated control rats, or in rats which received an injection of the irreversible receptor inactivator N-ethoxycarbonyl-2-ethoxy-1,2-dihydroquinoline (EEDQ, 6 mg/kg, s.c.) 24 hours before recording. All three drugs fully inhibited dorsal raphe cell firing in control rats (ED50's: 1.5 micrograms/kg, 8-OH-DPAT; 30.0 micrograms/kg, ipsapirone; 17.5 micrograms/kg, BMY 7378). However, unlike effects on serotonin synthesis, EEDQ treatments caused no depression of the maximal inhibitory response for any of the agonists, although all dose-response curves were shifted to the right (ED50's: 10.1 micrograms/kg, 6.7-fold shift, 8-OH-DPAT; 139.9 micrograms/kg, 4.7-fold shift, ipsapirone; 53.8 micrograms/kg, 3.1-fold shift, BMY 7378). Although the order of agonist efficacies was similar for both inhibition of serotonin synthesis and dorsal raphe cell firing (8-OH-DPAT > ipsapirone > BMY 7378), a large (> 50%) receptor reserve was estimated for all three drugs in this electrophysiological system.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Rats were trained to discriminate 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT, 0.1 mg/kg i.p.) or 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (5-OMe-DMT, 1.25 mg/kg i.p.), a selective and nonselective 5-hydroxytryptamine1A (5-HT, serotonin) receptor agonist, respectively, from saline in a two-lever procedure. The selective 5-HT1A receptor agonist ipsapirone substituted completely for 8-OH-DPAT (ED50, 1.52 mg/kg) and 5-OMe-DMT substituted partially for 8-OH-DPAT, whereas 8-OH-DPAT (ED50, 0.07 mg/kg) and ipsapirone (ED50, 4.15 mg/kg) substituted completely for 5-OMe-DMT. These results suggest that the discriminative stimulus properties of both 8-OH-DPAT and 5-OMe-DMT are 5-HT1A receptor mediated, although 5-OMe-DMT may involve an additional interaction with other 5-HT receptor subtypes. 5-OMe-DMT substituted for 8-OH-DPAT after application in the lateral ventricle (ED50, 3.0 micrograms/rat) and the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN, 1.1 micrograms/rat). After application in the DRN (ED50 range, 1.4-5.0 micrograms/rat) and the median raphe nucleus (2.3 micrograms/rat), and after bilateral application into the CA-4 region of the dorsal hippocampus (4.1 micrograms/rat), 8-OH-DPAT also produced responding on the 8-OH-DPAT lever. Ipsapirone also substituted for 8-OH-DPAT after application into the DRN and the hippocampus (ED50S, 38 and 62 micrograms/rat, respectively). The 5-HT1A mixed agonist-antagonist (1-(2-methoxyphenyl) 4-[4-(2-pthalimido)butyl]piperazine, i.p. NAN-190) attenuated the discriminative stimulus effects of 8-OH-DPAT injected i.p. (0.1 mg/kg), into the DRN (10 micrograms) or into the hippocampus (2 x 10 micrograms).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Serotonin (5-HT) has been implicated in the phase adjustment of the circadian system during the subjective day in response to nonphotic stimuli. Two components of the circadian system, the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) (site of the circadian clock) and the intergeniculate leaflet (IGL), receive serotonergic projections from the median raphe nucleus and the dorsal raphe nucleus, respectively. Experiment 1, performed in golden hamsters housed in constant darkness, compared the effects of bilateral microinjections of the 5-HT1A/7 receptor agonist, 8-hydroxydipropylaminotetralin (8-OH-DPAT; 0.5 microgram in 0.2 microliter saline per side), into the IGL or the SCN during the mid-subjective day. Bilateral 8-OH-DPAT injections into either the SCN or the IGL led to significant phase advances of the circadian rhythm of wheel-running activity (p < .001). The phase advances following 8-OH-DPAT injections in the IGL were dose department (p < .001). Because a light pulse administered during the middle of the subjective day can attenuate the phase-resetting effect of a systemic injection of 8-OH-DPAT, Experiment 2 was designed to determine whether light could modulate 5-HT agonist activity at the level of the SCN and/or the IGL. Serotonergic receptor activation within the SCN, followed by a pulse of light (300 lux of white light lasting 30 min), still induced phase advances. In contrast, the effect of serotonergic stimulation within the IGL was blocked by a light pulse. These results indicate that the respective 5-HT projections to the SCN and IGL subserve different functions in the circadian responses to photic and nonphotic stimuli. 相似文献

Previous studies indicate that exposure of rats to randomly presented, inescapable loud sound, referred to as sound stress, increases central serotonin turnover as well as the ex vivo activity of tryptophan hydroxylase (EC 1.14.16.4), the rate-limiting enzyme in serotonin biosynthesis. The purpose of this investigation was to determine whether intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) administration of neurotensin (NT), a tridecapeptide found within the midbrain raphe, influences the activation of the midbrain serotonergic neurons by sound stress. Accumulation of 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) in vivo, in the presence of the aromatic amino acid decarboxylase inhibitor, NSD 1015 (m-hydroxybenzylhydrazine, 100 mg/kg i.p.) given immediately before a 30 min sound stress, was used as an index of in vivo tryptophan hydroxylase activity. Sound-stressed rats had significantly higher levels of 5-HTP in cortex and midbrain compared to sham-stressed controls. NT (0.01-3.3 nmol total), given i.c.v., 5 min prior to 30 min sound stress, completely blocked the enhanced accumulation of 5-HTP, but had no effect on basal accumulation of 5-HTP, except at the highest doses of 1.0 or 3.3 nmol, which others have previously shown to inhibit basal serotonergic metabolism. NT (0.3 and 3.3 nmol) blocked the increase in cortical tryptophan hydroxylase activity, ex vivo, in response to 30 min sound stress, without affecting basal enzyme activity. These and other recent data suggest a possible role for endogenous NT in the regulation of serotonergic neuronal activity within the midbrain raphe. 相似文献

The effects of the putative 5-HT1A receptor antagonist 4-iodo-N-[2-[4-(methoxyphenyl)-1-piperazinyl]ethyl]-N-2-pyridinyl-benzam ide (p-MPPI) were examined on the activity of serotonergic dorsal raphe nucleus neurons in freely moving cats. Systemic administration of p-MPPI produced a dose-dependent increase in firing rate. This stimulatory effect of p-MPPI was evident during wakefulness (when serotonergic neurons display a relatively high level of activity), but not during sleep (when serotonergic neurons display little or no spontaneous activity). p-MPPI also blocked the ability of the 5-HT1A receptor agonist 8-hydroxy-(2-di-n-propylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT) to inhibit serotonergic neuronal activity. This antagonism was evident both as a reversal of the neuronal inhibition produced by prior injection of 8-OH-DPAT and as a shift in the potency of 8-OH-DPAT following p-MPPI pretreatment. Overall, these results in behaving animals indicate that p-MPPI acts as an effective 5-HT1A autoreceptor antagonist. The increase in firing rate produced by p-MPPI supports the hypothesis that autoreceptor-mediated feedback inhibition operates under physiological conditions. 相似文献

The effect of prolonged, 22 h long, intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) infusion of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRF) on plasma cortisol, corticosterone and electrolyte concentrations, mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) were investigated in conscious rabbits. During i.c.v. infusion of CRF, 1 and 3 micrograms/h, at a rate of 17 microliters/h, plasma cortisol and corticosterone concentrations rose to the level noted after ACTH stimulation in rabbits. Plasma [Na] did not change, but plasma [K] was reduced and plasma osmolality increased during the infusion of CRF, 3 micrograms/h. MAP and HR, recorded continuously during i.c.v. infusion of CRF, changed only with the higher dose of CRF: MAP was elevated during the first 5 h of infusion, and then returned to the control level. HR was lower than control at the end of the first hour of infusion and again between 9 and 15 h of infusion. The prolonged rise of CRF concentration in the brain induced a sustained rise in circulating adrenal steroid hormones. MAP did not increase to the level noted after bolus i.c.v. injection of CRF and the rise in MAP was not sustained. 相似文献

Recent neuroanatomical data suggest that the axons and terminals of serotonergic neurons of the dorsal and median raphe nuclei are morphologically and pharmacologically distinct. Here we attempted to establish a functional in vivo model of serotonergic terminals derived from these nuclei, and then carry out a preliminary comparison of their physiological and pharmacological properties. Brain microdialysis was used to monitor extracellular 5-hydroxytryptamine in the hippocampus (dorsal and median raphe innervation) and frontal cortex (preferential dorsal raphe innervation) of the anaesthetized rat. To distinguish 5-hydroxytryptamine released by terminals of dorsal raphe neurons from that released by median raphe neurons, one or other of these nuclei was stimulated electrically. Electrical stimulation of either the dorsal or median raphe nucleus evoked a release of 5-hydroxytryptamine in the hippocampus. Whereas stimulation of the dorsal raphe nucleus also released 5-hydroxytryptamine in the frontal cortex, stimulation of the median raphe nucleus did not. No release of 5-hydroxytryptamine was evoked when electrodes were located in regions bordering the dorsal raphe nucleus and the median raphe nucleus. The amounts of hippocampal 5-HT released by stimulation of the dorsal or median raphe nucleus were found to be similarly altered by a 5-hydroxytryptamine uptake inhibitor (citalopram) and calcium-free perfusion medium, and also by increasing stimulation frequency (2-10 Hz). Furthermore, the amount of 5-hydroxytryptamine released by electrical stimulation of either the dorsal raphe nucleus or median raphe nucleus was markedly reduced in rats pretreated with p-chloroamphetamine. In summary, our data show that electrical stimulation of the dorsal or median raphe nucleus releases 5-hydroxytryptamine in a regionally specific manner (hippocampus versus frontal cortex), suggesting that serotonergic nerve terminals of the dorsal and median raphe pathways were being activated selectively. Using this model, we found no differences in the responsiveness of dorsal and median raphe pathways to a specific set of physiological and pharmacological manipulations. In particular, our data suggest that the neurotoxic action of p-chloroamphetamine may not be targeted solely on serotonergic axons and terminals of the dorsal raphe nucleus but includes those of the median raphe nucleus. 相似文献

In a rat model of volume-controlled hemorrhagic shock (mean arterial pressure = 20-24 mm Hg) causing the death of all saline-treated animals within 30 min, the i.v. bolus injection of ACTH-(1-24) (160 micrograms/kg) produced an almost complete and sustained reversal of the shock condition, with recovery of arterial blood pressure, pulse pressure and respiratory rate, and with 100% survival at the end of the experiment (2 h). The serotonin-depleting agent p-chlorophenylalanine (316 mg/kg i.p., administered 66-70 h before hemorrhage) almost completely prevented the effect of ACTH. The 5-HT1/5-HT2 receptor antagonist, methysergide, prevented the effect of ACTH completely when injected i.v. (5 mg/kg), but only in part when injected into a brain ventricle (i.c.v.) (15 micrograms/rat); the 5-HT2 antagonist, ketanserin, prevented the effect of ACTH completely when injected i.c.v. (1.5 micrograms/rat), but only in part when injected i.v. (0.5 mg/kg); the 5-HT3 antagonist, MDL 72222, largely prevented the effect of ACTH when injected i.c.v. (10 micrograms/rat), but had no influence at all when injected i.v. (3 mg/kg); finally, the 5-HT4 antagonist, GR 125487, had no effect when injected i.v. (5 micrograms/kg) or when injected i.c.v. (30 ng/rat). Overall, these data indicate that both CNS and peripheral serotonin play an important role in the complex mechanism of the ACTH-induced hemorrhagic shock reversal. 相似文献

Performed 4 experiments to investigate the effects of different techniques causing noradrenergic and serotonergic depletions in the brain and spinal cord on brief shock-induced analgesia (BSIA). Newborn pups were administered N-2-choloroethyl-N-ethyl-2-bromobenzylamine systemically and 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) administered either systemically or directly into the locus ceruleus region, or intrathecally into the lumbar subarachnoidal space, caused notable and consistent attenuations of analgesia. Treatments reduced noradrenaline concentrations in the spinal cord drastically. A potentiation of BSIA was caused by the administration of p-chlorophenyl-alanine, whereas administration of 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine, into the nucleus raphe magnus or intrathecally into the subarachnoidal space, produced attenuation of the analgesic effect. Biochemical analyses revealed marked 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) depletions in the spinal cord. Findings are discussed with regard to the role of spinal noradrenaline and 5-HT involvement in BSIA and in reactions to stressful events.

5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) inhibits contractile responses to adrenergic nerve stimulation in several blood vessels and organs. We have now investigated the potential ability of 5-HT to inhibit the pressor responses caused by preganglionic sympathetic stimulation (T7-T9) in pithed rats. Sympathetic stimulation (0.03, 0.1, 0.3, 1 and 3 Hz) resulted in frequency-dependent increases in diastolic blood pressure; these effects were augmented after i.v. treatment with desipramine (50 micrograms/kg). During continuous infusions of 5-HT (1.8, 3.1, 5.6 and 10 micrograms/kg.min, i.v.), but not of saline, the pressor responses were dose-dependently inhibited in both control and desipramine-pretreated rats; this inhibitory effect of 5-HT was significantly more pronounced at lower frequencies of stimulation. In contrast, the above infusions of 5-HT did not inhibit the pressor responses induced by i.v. bolus injections of exogenous norepinephrine (up to 3 micrograms/kg). Taken together, the above findings suggest an operative 5-HT-induced prejunctional inhibition of sympathetic nerve activity on the systemic vasculature in vivo. 相似文献

To examine the direct effects of serotonin (5-HT) on the release and synthesis of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN), 5-HT was microinjected just onto the bilateral PVN of conscious rats. Plasma adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) levels peaked at 30 min and returned to the basal levels in 90 min. Northern blot analysis revealed that the CRF messenger RNA (mRNA) level in the PVN as well as the proopiomelanocortin mRNA level in the anterior pituitary significantly increased 120 min after the 5-HT injections (50-250 nmol/side). Pretreatment with intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) injection of pindobind 5-HT1A (5 nmol) or LY-278584 (500 nmol) completely abolished the 5-HT-induced ACTH response, whereas LY-53857 (100 nmol) was without effect. These results suggest that 5-HT stimulates CRF release, which has interactions with 5-HT1A and 5-HT3 receptors on CRF neurons in the PVN, and activates CRF synthesis in conscious rats. 相似文献

A variety of observations from several rodent species suggest that a serotonin (5-HT) input to the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) circadian pacemaker may play a role in resetting or entrainment of circadian rhythms by non-photic stimuli such as scheduled wheel running. If 5-HT activity within the SCN is necessary for activity-induced phase shifting, then it should be possible to block or attenuate these phase shifts by reducing 5-HT release or by blocking post-synaptic 5-HT receptors. Animals received one of four serotonergic drugs and were then locked in a novel wheel for 3 h during the mid-rest phase, when novelty-induced activity produces maximal phase advance shifts. Drugs tested at several doses were metergoline (5-HT1/2 antagonist; i.p.), (+)-WAY100135 (5-HT1A postsynaptic antagonist, which may also reduce 5-HT release by an agonist effect at 5-HT1A raphe autoreceptors; i.p.), NAN-190 (5-HT1A postsynaptic antagonist, which also reduces 5-HT release via an agonist effect at 5-HT1A raphe autoreceptors; i.p.) and ritanserin (5-HT2/7 antagonist; i.p. and i.c.v.). Mean and maximal phase shifts to running in novel wheels were not significantly affected by any drug at any dose. These results do not support a hypothesis that 5-HT release or activity at 5HT1, 2 and 7 receptors in the SCN is necessary for the production of activity-induced phase shifts in hamsters. 相似文献
