Spinal serotonin1 (5-HT1)(labelled by [3H]5-HT), 5-HT1A (labelled by [3H]8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin ([3H]8-OH-DPAT)), mu- (labelled by [3H]Tyr-D-Ala-Gly-(Me)Phe-Gly-ol ([3H]DAGO) and [3H]naloxone) and delta-opiate (labelled by [3H]Tyr-D-Ser-Gly-Phe-Leu-Thr [( 3H]DSTLE] receptor binding sites were studied in adult rats using quantitative autoradiography after either neonatal treatment with capsaicin or unilateral cervical dorsal rhizotomy. Both treatments produced a significant loss of 5-HT (-20 to -30%) and opiate (-30 to -45%) binding sites within the superficial layers of the dorsal horn, suggesting they are partly located presynaptically on primary afferent fibres. Thus, 5-HT, as well as opiates, might generate analgesia by acting--at least partly--on primary afferent nociceptive fibres at the spinal level.

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
