The present study was designed to examine the possible involvement of both an anti-serotonin action and a catecholamine-stimulating action in the mechanism of the inhibition of the muricide in rats with lesions of the midbrain raphe. Serotonin antagonists, such as
m-Chlorophenylpiperazine (mCPP), a major metabolite of the atypical antidepressant trazadone, has been observed to produce marked physiological and behavioral effects in both humans and animals. These effects have been attributed to the interaction of mCPP with serotonergic receptors. The present

The induction of penile erections by a variety of compounds with a direct or indirect effect on serotonin (5HT) receptors was investigated in rats. L-5-Hydroxy-tryptophan (L-5HTP) induced penile erections when co-administered with nialamide and the peripheral decarboxylase inhibitor benserazide, indicating

We investigated the usefulness of the pithed rat model to determine the relative potencies of 5-HT2A/2C receptor antagonists following acute intravenous and oral administration in inhibiting 5-HT-induced pressor responses. The 5-HT2A/2C receptor antagonists, pirenperone, ketanserin, and ritanserin, all dose-dependently inhibited
