Malfunction of inhibitory synaptic processes in the brainstem result in abnormal prolonged inspiration (apneusis). Since we previously found that the serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) 5-HT1A receptor agonist 8-hydroxy-dipropylaminotetralin (8-OH-DPAT) shortens inspiratory discharges, we tested its ability to suppress apneusis. We recorded phrenic nerve activity and the membrane potential of medullary expiratory (E-2) and postinspiratory (PI) neurons in 14 anaesthetized, paralyzed, artificially ventilated cats. Systemic hypoxia or i.v. injection of pentobarbital sodium or the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor blocker ketamine induced apneustic phrenic nerve discharges, delayed depolarization to threshold of E-2 neurons and prolonged hyperpolarization in PI neurons. 8-OH-DPAT (10-40 micrograms/kg i.v.) produced partial to complete restoration of normal phrenic nerve discharges and membrane potential.

D007649 Ketamine A cyclohexanone derivative used for induction of anesthesia. Its mechanism of action is not well understood, but ketamine can block NMDA receptors (RECEPTORS, N-METHYL-D-ASPARTATE) and may interact with sigma receptors. 2-(2-Chlorophenyl)-2-(methylamino)cyclohexanone,CI-581,Calipsol,Calypsol,Kalipsol,Ketalar,Ketamine Hydrochloride,Ketanest,Ketaset,CI 581,CI581
D008297 Male Males
D008564 Membrane Potentials The voltage differences across a membrane. For cellular membranes they are computed by subtracting the voltage measured outside the membrane from the voltage measured inside the membrane. They result from differences of inside versus outside concentration of potassium, sodium, chloride, and other ions across cells' or ORGANELLES membranes. For excitable cells, the resting membrane potentials range between -30 and -100 millivolts. Physical, chemical, or electrical stimuli can make a membrane potential more negative (hyperpolarization), or less negative (depolarization).

D010424 Pentobarbital A short-acting barbiturate that is effective as a sedative and hypnotic (but not as an anti-anxiety) agent and is usually given orally. It is prescribed more frequently for sleep induction than for sedation but, like similar agents, may lose its effectiveness by the second week of continued administration.

D011985 Receptors, Serotonin Cell-surface proteins that bind SEROTONIN and trigger intracellular changes which influence the behavior of cells.

D002415 Cats The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.
