The effect of lithium ion on the electrically stimulated 5-[3H]hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) release from the rat hippocampal slices preloaded with [3H]5-HT was studied. Electrically stimulated [3H]5-HT release decreased when the slices were exposed to 5-HT in a concentration-dependent manner. Lithium (2.5 mM) did not affect [3H]5-HT release when added alone to the superfusion medium. However, the inhibitory effect of 5-HT (1 microM) on [3H]5-HT release was abolished by lithium. The results suggest that lithium may inhibit the regulation of 5-HT release via presynaptic 5-HT autoreceptors in rat hippocampus.
研究了锂离子对预先加载[³H]5-羟色胺(5-HT)的大鼠海马切片经电刺激后5-[³H]羟色胺(5-HT)释放的影响。当切片以浓度依赖性方式暴露于5-HT时,电刺激的[³H]5-HT释放减少。单独添加到灌流培养基中的锂(2.5 mM)不影响[³H]5-HT释放。然而,锂消除了5-HT(1 microM)对[³H]5-HT释放的抑制作用。结果表明,锂可能通过大鼠海马中突触前5-HT自身受体抑制5-HT释放的调节。
