In chloralose-anaesthetised cats, we studied the effects of intravenous and intra-carotid injections of 5-HT on the middle meningeal artery and the way these were modified by 5-HT antagonists.
Intravenous injections of 5-HT, 2-50 microg kg (-1) (5.2-129 nmole kg (-1)), produced a dose-dependent fall in blood pressure, a rise in meningeal blood flow, and an associated fall in middle meningeal resistance.

In urethane-chloralose anaesthetized, neuromuscularly blocked, ventilated rats, we examined the effects on sympathetic outflow to brown adipose tissue (BAT) of separate and simultaneous spinal microinjections of NMDA and serotonin.
Microinjection of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT, 2 nmol) into the T4 IML increased BAT SNA (peak: +342% of control) at a long latency (mean onset: 23 min).

In urethane-chloralose anesthetized, neuromuscularly blocked, ventilated rats, microinjection of NMDA (12 pmol) into the right fourth thoracic segment (T4) spinal intermediolateral nucleus (IML) immediately increased ipsilateral brown adipose tissue (BAT) sympathetic nerve activity (SNA; peak +492% of control), expired CO2 (+0.1%) heart rate (+48 beats min (-1)) and arterial pressure (+8 mmHg).

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of microinjection of serotonin (5-HT) and selected 5-HT receptor subtype agonists and antagonists into the caudal nucleus raphe obscurus on gastrointestinal motor activity in urethane-chloralose anesthetized rats.
The gastric excitatory effect of 5-HT (6.0 nmol) was markedly reduced by prior microinjection of a 5-HT1/2 receptor antagonist, methiothepin (200 nmol), into the same site, as well as by i.v. administration of a 5-HT2/1C antagonist, ketanserin (2.5 mg/kg).

Electrophysiological studies were performed using cats anesthetized with alpha-chloralose, to elucidate the 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptor subtypes involved in the 5-HT-induced inhibition of the lateral vestibular nucleus (LVN) neurons projecting to or through the abducens nucleus.
Microiontophoretically applied 1-(3-chlorophenyl) piperazine (mCPP), a 5-HT1B agonist inhibited the orthodromic spike elicited by vestibular nerve stimulation and glutamate-induced firing in only a small number of the LVN neurons. 1-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodophenyl)-2-aminopropane (DOI), a 5-HT2 agonist, rarely affected these neurons.

Further, brainstem 5-HT1A receptors play an important role in the control of renal sympathetic outflow while brainstem 5-HT2 receptors are involved in the control of skeletal muscle and/or skin blood flow.
1 The present study compares the effects on representative autonomic outflows of IVth ventricular application of tryptamine analogues which act at 5-HT1 receptors with 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino) tetralin (8-OH-DPAT). 2 Cumulative doses of 8-OH-DPAT, N,N-di-n-propyl-5-carboxamidotryptamine (DP-5-CT) and 5-carboxamidotryptamine (5-CT, 2.5-40 nmol kg-1), sumatriptan (10-160 nmol kg-1), indorenate (100-800 nmol kg-1), 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT, 20-640 nmol kg-1) both alone and in the presence of cinanserin (0.1 mg kg-1) were given into the IVth ventricle of cats which were anaesthetized with a mixture of alpha-chloralose and pentobarbitone sodium, neuromuscularly blocked and artificially ventilated.
