5-HT potentiation of the GABA(A) response in the rat sacral dorsal commissural neurones.
1. The modulatory effect of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) on the gamma-aminobutyric acid(A) (GABA(A)) response was investigated in the neurones freshly dissociated from the rat sacral dorsal commissural nucleus (SDCN) using the nystatin perforated patch recording configuration under the voltage-clamp conditions. 2. 5-HT potentiated GABA-induced Cl- current (IGABA) without affecting the reversal po...
متن کاملDistribution of 5-HT(1B), 5-HT(1D) and 5-HT(1F) receptor expression in rat trigeminal and dorsal root ganglia neurons: relevance to the selective anti-migraine effect of triptans.
Triptans, acting as serotonin, 5-HT(1B/1D/1F), receptor agonists, provide an effective and established treatment option in migraine and cluster headache. Clinical observations suggest a relatively specific effect of these compounds on primary headache disorders, but not in other pain syndromes. The mechanism of this specificity, however, is not well understood. Hence, we systematically studied ...
متن کاملCharacterization of the in vitro effects of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) on identified neurones of the rat dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus (DMV).
1 Whole cell patch clamp techniques were used on thin brainstem slices to investigate the effects of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) on gastrointestinal-projecting dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus (DMV) neurones. Neurones were identified as projecting to the stomach (n=122) or intestine (n=84) if they contained the fluorescent tracer Dil after it had been applied to the gastric fundus, corpus or an...
متن کاملIndoline derivatives as 5-HT(2C) receptor agonists.
A series of 1-(1-indolinyl)-2-propylamines was synthesised and evaluated as 5-HT(2C) receptor agonists for the treatment of obesity. The general methods of synthesis of the precursor indoles are described. The functional efficacy and radioligand binding data for all of the compounds at 5-HT(2) receptor subtypes are reported. A number of compounds were found to reduce food intake in rats after o...
متن کاملHow can 5-HT(3) receptor antagonists exert analgesic properties?
See "Ondansetron pretreatment reduces pain on injection of propofol" by Zahedi H, Maleki A, Rostami G on pages 239-243 (1). 5-HT3 receptors occur on various components of the pain modulation system. Expressed on peripheral nerve endings and autonomic afferents as well as in the monoaminergic descending inhibitory system and certain brain regions, 5-HT3 receptors play an indispensable role in sp...
