5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) induced dose-dependent increases in tension on the isolated posterior communicating artery (PCA) of the cat were significantly antagonized by lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD, 6 X 10(-9). In the presence of the phentolamine (10(-6) M) the contraction induced by the two lowest doses of 5-HT was significantly reduced. Pretreatment of the animals with reserpine (3 mg kg-1, i.p., total dose) did not modify the dose-response curve to 5-HT except for the lowest dose. Removal of both superior cervical sympathetic ganglia 15 days before the experiment brought about a significant increase in the vasoconstriction induced by 5-HT at all the doses compared with the control. Cocaine (10(-6) M) induced a significant shift to the left of the dose-response curve to 5-HT but the maximum response was the same as in the control. The augmented response to 5-HT after denervation was partially antagonized by LSD (6 X 10(-9) M) but not by phentolamine (10(-6) M). These results show that the vasoconstriction elicited by 5-HT in the PCA of the cat is mainly due to direct stimulation of tryptaminergic receptors. The participation of an indirect adrenergic component in the contractile effects of 5-HT seems to be negligible.
5-羟色胺(5-HT)可使猫离体后交通动脉(PCA)的张力呈剂量依赖性增加,而麦角酸二乙胺(LSD,6×10⁻⁹)可显著拮抗这种作用。在酚妥拉明(10⁻⁶ M)存在的情况下,5-HT最低的两个剂量所诱导的收缩作用显著减弱。用利血平(3 mg·kg⁻¹,腹腔注射,总剂量)对动物进行预处理,除最低剂量外,并未改变对5-HT的剂量反应曲线。在实验前15天切除双侧颈上神经节,与对照组相比,所有剂量的5-HT所诱导的血管收缩作用均显著增强。可卡因(10⁻⁶ M)可使5-HT的剂量反应曲线显著左移,但最大反应与对照组相同。去神经后对5-HT增强的反应部分被LSD(6×10⁻⁹ M)拮抗,但未被酚妥拉明(10⁻⁶ M)拮抗。这些结果表明,5-HT在猫PCA中所引发的血管收缩主要是由于对色胺能受体的直接刺激。5-HT收缩作用中间接肾上腺素能成分的参与似乎可以忽略不计。
