14742306 Morrison SF: Activation of 5-HT1A receptors in raphe pallidus inhibits leptin-evoked increases in brown adipose tissue thermogenesis. Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol. 2004 May;286(5):R832-7. Epub 2004 Jan 23.

To elucidate the central neural pathways contributing to the thermogenic component of the autonomic response to intravenous administration of leptin, experiments were conducted in urethane-chloralose-anesthetized, ventilated rats to address 1) the role of neurons in the rostral ventromedial medulla, including raphe pallidus (RPa), in the leptin-evoked stimulation of brown adipose tissue (BAT) sympathetic nerve activity (SNA); and 2) the potential thermolytic effect of 5-hydroxytryptamine (1A) (5-HT (1A)) receptors on RPa neurons that influence BAT thermogenesis.

On the day of the study the animals were anesthetized with urethane alpha-chloralose and instrumented for the recording of MAP, lumbar sympathetic nerve activity (LSNA), and heart rate (HR).

On the day of the study, the animals were fasted and anesthetized with chloralose/urethane.

Although solitary tract nucleus microinjection of 144 fmol/60 nL of leptin had no significant effect on baroreflex sensitivity for control of the heart rate in urethane/chloralose-anesthetized Sprague-Dawley rats, 500 fmol of leptin impaired baroreflex sensitivity for bradycardia in response to increases in pressure (1.15+/-0.04 versus 0.52+/-0.12 ms/mm Hg; P <0.01).
