Background The role of serotonin (5-hydroxytrptamine, 5-HT) in the modulation of pain has been widely studied. Previous work led to the hypothesis that 5-hydroxyindolacetic acid (5-HIAA), a main metabolite of serotonin, might by itself influence pain ...

Effect of methysergide pretreatment on thrombin-induced pulmonary oedema in the rat
Microembolic pulmonary oedema was induced by injection of thrombin (500 NIH units/kg body weight) i.v. in rats in which fibrinolysis had been inhibited by pretreatment with trans-4-aminomethyl-cyclohexanoid-carboxylic acid (AMCA). To evaluate the role of

A dual action of 5-hydroxytryptamine on the ovarian suspensory ligament of the rat
5-Hydroxytryptamine has a dual effect on the spontaneously contracting rat ovarian ligament, in vitro, a contraction which is antagonized by the prior administration of methysergide and a relaxation of the ligament observed in the methysergide-treated ...

Anomalous responses to histamine stimulation of guinea-pig oesophageal muscularis mucosae
The incomplete tachyphylaxis of the contractile response to the H-1-stimulants observed on guinea-pig oesophageal muscularis mucosae seems to be H-2- and H-3-antagonist as well as atropine- and tetrodotoxin-resistant.

The pharmacological profile of ovalbumin-induced paw oedema in rats
Rats are commonly used in anaphylaxis models, mainly in intestinal anaphylaxis. Hypersensitivity mechanisms are complex and they are not clearly defined. Ovalbumin (OVA) is commonly used for studies on the hypersensitivity mechanism.

Effect of 5-HT on Trica5-HT1 in presence of different concentrations of antagonist.
Dose-dependent activation of Trica5-HT1 was measured in CHO-WTA11 cells with 1 nM –1 mM 5-HT in presence of 10 nM –1 mM antagonist: (A) prazosin, (B) methysergide and (C) methiothepin.

The effect of nicotine on endogenous basal GABA outflow was studied in guinea‐pig cerebral cortex slices. Nicotine 1.86‐18.6 μmol 1−1 significantly decreased the basal, tetrodotoxin‐sensitive GABA efflux, whereas at higher concentrations (186–620 μmol 1 ...
