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

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
The selective serotonin type-2 (S2) receptor blocker pirenperone (0.24 mg/kg, SC) attenuates morphine-produced tail-flick antinociception in intact rats, but not in rats with transected spinal cords. These results suggest that S2 receptor blockade does not affect intraspinal opioid antinociception. Together

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
