The effects of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) microinjection into the nucleus raphe magnus (NRM) and the nucleus raphe dorsalis (NRD) on tonic pain were studied using the monosodium urate (MSU) tonic pain model in the rat. For the NRM, 5-HT microinjection produced significant analgesic effects, which were antagonized by systemic naloxone administration and also by subsequent microinjection of naloxone into the NRM. For the NRD, systemic naloxone administration did not antagonize these analgesic effects, although 5-HT microinjection produced significant analgesic effects. Therefore, as far as tonic pain is concerned, it was suggested that neural transmission mediated by 5-HT in the NRM and NRD plays an antinociceptive action, but via different neural mechanisms.

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
