We analysed the type and/or subtype of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptors involved in the inhibitory mechanisms of 5-HT on the pressor responses induced by stimulation of sympathetic vasopressor outflow in long-term diabetic pithed rats. Diabetes was induced in male Wistar rats by a single subcutaneous injection of alloxan. Eight weeks later, rats were anaesthetized, pre-treated with atropine, and pithed. The effect of 5-HT on the pressor responses elicited by stimulation of the sympathetic outflow was analysed in eight-week alloxan-induced diabetic pithed rats. 5-HT (20 microg/kg/min) reduced the pressor action obtained by electrical stimulation of the sympathetic outflow. However, there was no effect on exogenous noradrenaline-induced pressor responses. 5-CT (5 microg/kg/min), 8-OH-DPAT (5 microg/kg/min), and alpha-methyl-5-HT (5 microg/kg/min), selective 5-HT(1), 5-HT(1A) and 5-HT(2) receptor agonists, respectively, reproduced the 5-HT inhibitory action. Nevertheless, infusion of 5 microg/kg/min of 1-phenylbiguanide, CGS-12066B, L-694,247, BW273C86 or MK212 (5-HT(3), 5-HT(1B), 5-HT(1D), 5-HT(2B) and 5-HT(2C) receptor agonists, respectively) had no effect on the pressor responses elicited by stimulation of the sympathetic outflow. Methiothepin (100 microg/kg) and a cocktail of WAY-100,635 (100 microg/kg) and spiperone (125 microg/kg) blocked the 5-HT inhibitory effect on the pressor action obtained by sympathetic stimulation. Moreover, WAY-100, 635 abolished the 8-OH-DPAT inhibitory effect and spiperone blocked alpha-methyl-5-HT action. In conclusion, this study revealed that long-term experimental diabetes induces changes in the receptor type/subtype involved in the 5-HT inhibitory action on the sympathetic pressor responses produced by electrical stimulation. This is mainly mediated by pre-junctional 5-HT(1A) and 5-HT(2A) receptors.

D012701 Serotonin A biochemical messenger and regulator, synthesized from the essential amino acid L-TRYPTOPHAN. In humans it is found primarily in the central nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, and blood platelets. Serotonin mediates several important physiological functions including neurotransmission, gastrointestinal motility, hemostasis, and cardiovascular integrity. Multiple receptor families (RECEPTORS, SEROTONIN) explain the broad physiological actions and distribution of this biochemical mediator. 5-HT,5-Hydroxytryptamine,3-(2-Aminoethyl)-1H-indol-5-ol,Enteramine,Hippophaine,Hydroxytryptamine,5 Hydroxytryptamine
D013564 Sympathetic Nervous System The thoracolumbar division of the autonomic nervous system. Sympathetic preganglionic fibers originate in neurons of the intermediolateral column of the spinal cord and project to the paravertebral and prevertebral ganglia, which in turn project to target organs. The sympathetic nervous system mediates the body's response to stressful situations, i.e., the fight or flight reactions. It often acts reciprocally to the parasympathetic system.
