Effects of Protoveratrine, Serotonin and ATP
نویسنده
چکیده
Splanchnic outflow was studied along with carotid and aortic pressoand chemoreceptor inflow in eats under a variety of conditions. Splanchnic activity was increased by a decrease in pressoor increase in chemoreceptor activity and vice-versa. Blood pressure rose following splanchnic activation. Protoveratrine and serotonin, reported to activate the "coronary chemoreflex," depressed completely splanchnic outflow, without enhancing pressoreceptor activity. Prolonged hypotension from protoveratrine coincided with partial return of splanchnic activity and tonic discharge of pressoreceptors. ATP increased splanchnic activity simultaneously with the hypotension and it is suggested that it be axcluded from the list of drugs eliciting the "coronary chemoreflex."

متن کاملThe role of Ca 2 + in the protoveratrine - induced release of y - aminobutyrate from rat brain slices
1. Protoveratrine A increased the release of y-aminoPHlbutyrate from small slices of rat cerebral cortex. This effect increased with increasing protoveratrine concentration, reaching a maximum at 100,M. 2. Removal of Ca2+ from the superfusing medium did not change the increase in release due to 10,uM-protoveratrine; however, the Ca2+ antagonists, compound D-600, La3+, Mn2+, Mg2+ and also high C...
متن کاملBreakdown of High Energy Phosphate Compounds in Brain Slices in Relation with an Increase in Permeability to Cations.
吉田 博 ・藤沢 久雄 ・梶川 宏造 It was shown in our previous paper (1) that protoveratrine and EDTA caused a remarkable increase in passive permeability of the membrane of brain slices to cations and this increase was completely prevented by so-called stabilizers such as cocaine and calcium ion. Protoveratrine and EDTA are known to be depolarizers (2) and the effects of these drugs on brain slices were cons...
متن کاملRegulation of Appetite: Role of Serotonin and Hypothalamus
Serotonin (5-HT), a mono-aminergic neurotransmitter is biochemically derived from tryptophan and is mainly found in gastrointestinal tract, platelets and central nervous system of animals. Serotonin (5-HT) in coordination with hypothalamus plays an important role in the CNS control of appetite, eating behavior, and energy balance and body weight. It has a special role in control of carbohydrate...
