1 In the mouse, administration of corticosterone-21-acetate (30 mg/kg, s.c. daily) for 3 and 10 days produced an attenuation of the hypothermic response to the 5-HT1A receptor agonist 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT), which was not present after administration for 1 day. 8-Hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) receptor 1A Mus musculus
2 The serotonin syndrome was also induced in mice using 8-OH-DPAT; this increased in a dose-dependent manner and could be significantly decreased by pre-treatment with 1-(2-methoxyphenyl)-4-(4-phthalimidobutyl)-piperazine (NAN-190 5 mg/kg, i.p., 30 min prior to administration of 8-OH-DPAT), a 5-HT1A receptor antagonist. 8-Hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) receptor 1A Mus musculus
