The putative 5-HT1A receptor antagonist properties of 1-(2-methoxyphenyl)-4-[4-(2-phtalimmido)butyl] piperazine (NAN-190) were studied in mice. The responses studied were hypothermia- and hyperglycemia-induced by the 5-HT1A agonist, 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT). NAN-190 (0.3-3 mg/kg) did not antagonize either response, but rather appeared to be additive with the effect produced by 8-OH-DPAT (0.25 mg/kg) alone, at least with respect to temperature. NAN-190, given alone in similar doses, caused hypothermia and hyperglycemia. These results suggest that NAN-190 has similar properties to 8-OH-DPAT with regard to temperature and glucose effects. Therefore, it does not appear to be a effective antagonist for all 5-HT1A-mediated responses.

The aim of this study was to investigate whether 5-HT1A receptor-mediated adrenal catecholamine release undergoes rapid desensitisation. Thus, we measured plasma adrenaline either following the acute administration of the 5-HT1A receptor agonist, 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT, 0.3 mg/kg i.v.), or during immobilisation stress, in rats pretreated repeatedly with saline or with the 5-HT1A receptor agonist, ipsapirone (10 mg/kg i.p., t.i.d. for 7 days). Plasma corticosterone and glucose were measured concomitantly. Neither body weight nor basal plasma adrenaline and corticosterone levels were significantly affected by ipsapirone treatment. Conversely, the latter diminished basal plasma glucose levels. While the 8-OH-DPAT-induced elevations in plasma adrenaline remained unaffected by ipsapirone, the 8-OH-DPAT-induced elevations in plasma corticosterone and glucose tended to be diminished by ipsapirone. Ipsapirone treatment modified the kinetics, but not the amount of adrenaline released by stress. On the other hand, stress-induced activation of the corticotropic axis was amplified by ipsapirone. Lastly, ipsapirone treatment again tended to diminish the hyperglycemic response to stress. These results indicate that (i) 5-HT1A receptor-mediated activation of adrenaline release is not desensitised by short-term ipsapirone treatment, (ii) the anxiolytic/antidepressant effect of ipsapirone may not be explainable in terms of tolerance to some neuroendorinological consequences of stress.

Infusion of the 5-HT1A receptor agonist, 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT) (2.5-20 micrograms in 1 microliter during 15 min), into the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN) in the rat dose dependently increased plasma adrenaline and corticosterone concentrations, without affecting plasma noradrenaline concentrations. The highest dose also increased plasma glucose levels significantly. The results suggest that both the sympathoadrenomedullary system and the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenocortical axis are activated after stimulation of 5-HT1A receptors in the PVN.

Cerebral glucose utilization and blood flow were measured in rats using 2-deoxy-D-[14C]glucose and [14C]iodoantipyrine quantitative autoradiography, respectively, following treatment with the 5-HT1A receptor agonist 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino) tetralin (8-OH-DPAT). In control and 8-OH-DPAT-treated animals blood flow and glucose use were similarly correlated, but the ratio was increased following 8-OH-DPAT treatment. Since 5-HT1A receptor activation is known to reduce neuronal 5-HT release, these results are consistent with a vasoconstrictor role for endogenous serotonin.

8-Hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT) is a 5-HT1A receptor-selective agonist that has recently been reported to trigger adrenal catecholamine release and hyperglycemia. The aim of this study was to analyze in the conscious rat whether the 5-HT1A receptor subtype is involved in these effects. 8-OH-DPAT (0.1-1 mg/kg, i.v.) evoked dose-dependent increases in plasma adrenaline and glucose concentrations. Increases in plasma adrenaline levels peaked 5 min after administration of 8-OH-DPAT; in contrast, plasma glucose levels rose throughout the 20 min period of analysis. Prior administration of (-)pindolol, a beta-adrenoceptor antagonist that blocks 5-HT1A receptors, markedly diminished the rise in plasma adrenaline levels and abolished the hyperglycemia triggered by 8-OH-DPAT. On the other hand, neither the selective beta 1-adrenoceptor antagonist, betaxolol, the selective beta 2-adrenoceptor antagonist, ICI 118.551, nor the 5-HT2 receptor antagonist, ketanserin, affected 8-OH-DPAT-induced increases in plasma adrenaline levels. In addition, except for ICI 118.551 pretreatment, which delayed the hyperglycemic effect of 8-OH-DPAT, none of these antagonists affected the rise in glycaemia evoked by 8-OH-DPAT. The data suggest that the adrenaline-releasing and a major part of the hyperglycemic effects of 8-OH-DPAT are mediated by activation of 5-HT1A receptors.

Administration of the 5-HT1A receptor agonist, 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT; 0.25 mg/kg i.v.), to conscious rats increased plasma adrenaline and glucose levels for 30 and 60 min, respectively. Both 8-OH-DPAT-induced changes in plasma adrenaline and glucose levels were totally abolished in pentobarbital-anaesthetized rats. The present data indicate that pentobarbital anaesthesia, a procedure that is commonly used in pharmacological studies, prevents the release of adrenaline evoked by 5-HT1A receptor activation.

1. Effects of the prototype selective 5-HT1A receptor agonist, 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-dipropylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT), were studied on the glycaemia and insulinaemia in conscious spontaneously hypertensive (SH) rats concurrently with blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR); underlying mechanism(s) were investigated in anaesthetized and pithed SH rats and in the perfused rat pancreas. 2. Intravenous (i.v.) injections of 8-OH-DPAT (150 micrograms kg-1, i.v.) into fasted conscious but not anesthetized SH rats increased glycaemia; glucose-stimulated (i.v. glucose tolerance test) plasma insulin levels were significantly inhibited in both cases without significant changes in glucose tolerance. Metabolic changes were associated with prominent decreases in BP and HR. 3. No inhibitory effect of 8-OH-DPAT, 150 micrograms kg-1 i.v., on glucose-stimulated plasma insulin was observed in pithed SH rats; in contrast, clonidine (8 micrograms kg-1 i.v.), produced marked inhibition of insulin levels in association with glucose intolerance. Neither compound decreased BP; rather, pronounced vasopressor effects were observed. 4. In the isolated perfused pancreas of the rat, 8-OH-DPAT, at 10(-8) and 10(-7) M, concentrations known to activate 5-HT1A receptors in vitro, failed to modify glucose-stimulated insulin release. Inhibition (39 +/- 7%) was seen only at a high concentration of 10(-6) M. 5. The present data suggest that like the cardiovascular effects of 8-OH-DPAT, the inhibition of glucose-stimulated insulin release is mediated via the central nervous system. However, it is suggested that different mechanisms are involved in the cardiovascular actions and metabolic effects of 8-OH-DPAT in the SH rat; the latter are likely to reflect a consequence of activation of the hypothalamic-adrenal axis.

The present study concerned the influence of ganglionic nicotinic blockade (by hexamethonium, 5 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg) of the 8-OH-DPAT-induced elevations in plasma adrenaline, corticosterone and glucose levels in conscious rats. Prior treatment with hexamethonium dose dependently decreased the basal glucose levels and increased the basal corticosterone levels but did not significantly affect the basal adrenaline levels. Hexamethonium decreased in a dose-dependent manner the elevations in plasma adrenaline, corticosterone and glucose levels that were elicited by the 5-HT1A receptor agonist, 8-OH-DPAT (0.25 mg/kg). These results indicate that acetylcholine release is a prerequisite for both the adrenaline-releasing and hyperglycemic effects of 8-OH-DPAT. The data also point to the possibility that adrenaline release participates in the elevation in plasma corticosterone levels that is elicited by 5-HT1A receptor activation.

Recent results have indicated that the 5-HT1A receptor subtype mediates the adrenaline-releasing and hyperglycemic effects of 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin in the rat. The aim of this study was to analyse, by means of the peripherally acting 5-HT1A receptor agonist, N,N-dipropyl-5-carboxamidotryptamine (DP-5-CT), whether these 5-HT1A receptors are peripherally or centrally localised. In view of the appreciable affinity of DP-5-CT for the 5-HT1D receptor subtype, the effects of the mixed 5-HT1B/5-HT1D receptor agonist 7-trifluoromethyl-4-(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl)-pyrrolo(1,2-a)quinoxaline (CGS 12066B), and the mixed 5-HT1A/5-HT1B/5-HT1D receptor agonist 5-methoxy-3(1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine-4-yl)1H-indole (RU 24969) were also investigated. Administration of DP-5-CT (0.3 and 1 mg/kg i.v.) increased plasma glucose levels dose-dependently, whereas only the 1 mg/kg dose of DP-5-CT elicited a rise in plasma adrenaline levels. In contrast, CGS 12066B (1.5 and 4.5 mg/kg i.v.) did not affect either plasma adrenaline or plasma glucose levels. Administration of RU 24969 (0.5-4.5 mg/kg i.v.) increased dose-dependently both plasma adrenaline and glucose levels. The data suggest that central 5-HT1A receptors, but neither 5-HT1B nor 5-HT1D receptors, regulate plasma adrenaline and glucose levels.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the 5-HT1A receptor agonists buspirone and ipsapirone (1-10 mg/kg) on plasma adrenaline (A) levels and on glycemia in the conscious rat. The results indicate that buspirone was able, within 5 min, to increase plasma A and glucose levels in a dose-dependent manner. Ipsapirone administration triggered similar patterns, except that the highest dose used (10 mg/kg) promoted a time-dependent increase in plasma A and glucose levels that was maximal at the end of analysis.
