Tóm tắt

Since antagonizing peripheral 5-HT2receptors incompletely blocks the anorexia induced by systemically administered 5-HT, another 5-HT receptor subtype is implicated in this effect. To determine whether the 5-HT3 receptor is the additional type involved, the specific, peripheral 5-HT3 antagonist [[3-(1-Methyl-1H-mdol-3-yl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl]methyl]trimethyl-ammonium iodide (MIO) was used. After an overnight fast, rats were injected with MIO followed 1 h later by 5 mg/kg of 5-HT. There was a dose-dependent potentiation by MIO of the 5-HT-induced anorexia that peaked at a dose of 2.5 mg/kg of MIO. However, MIO by itself failed to induce an anorexia Although the 5-HT3 receptor is implicated in 5-HT-induced anorexia, it is suggested that its activation counters the effects of 5-HT in the mediation of the anorexia.
