The effects of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5HT) and noradrenaline (NA) have been studied on rat anococcygeus muscle. 1. 5HT and NA produced a dose-dependent contraction of rat anococcygeus muscle. Cyproheptadine (1.0 X 10(-6) M), a specific 5HT receptor blocker, failed to inhibit the responses to either 5HT or NA. 2. However, phentolamine, a specific alpha receptor antagonist competitively blocked the responses to 5HT and NA. 3. The responses to 5HT were inhibited in the reserpinized (5 mg/kg i.p. 24 h) and 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) pre-treated preparations. 6-OHDA produced a leftward shift of the dose-response curve of NA. Reserpine pre-treatment potentiated lower doses of NA and the threshold dose of NA was significantly decreased. 4. Nialamide (2.2 x 10(-6) M), the mono-amine oxidase inhibitor produced a significant leftward shift of the dose-response curve of both 5HT and NA. Pyrogallol (2.3 x 10(-5) M), the catechol-o-methyl transferase inhibitor also potentiated the responses to both 5HT and NA, but the potentiation was significant at lower doses of 5HT and NA. 5. Our data suggest that 5HT- and NA-induced contractions in rat anococcygeus muscle are mediated through common alpha adrenoceptors. 5HT actions are probably indirect, mediated through the release of NA.
已对5-羟色胺(5HT)和去甲肾上腺素(NA)对大鼠肛门尾骨肌的作用进行了研究。1. 5HT和NA可使大鼠肛门尾骨肌产生剂量依赖性收缩。赛庚啶(1.0×10⁻⁶ M),一种特异性5HT受体阻滞剂,未能抑制对5HT或NA的反应。2. 然而,酚妥拉明,一种特异性α受体拮抗剂,竞争性地阻断了对5HT和NA的反应。3. 在利血平化(腹腔注射5 mg/kg,24小时)和6-羟基多巴胺(6-OHDA)预处理的制剂中,对5HT的反应受到抑制。6-OHDA使NA的剂量-反应曲线向左移动。利血平预处理增强了较低剂量的NA,且NA的阈剂量显著降低。4. 单胺氧化酶抑制剂尼亚酰胺(2.2×10⁻⁶ M)使5HT和NA的剂量-反应曲线均显著向左移动。儿茶酚-O-甲基转移酶抑制剂焦性没食子酸(2.3×10⁻⁵ M)也增强了对5HT和NA的反应,但在较低剂量的5HT和NA时增强作用显著。5. 我们的数据表明,5HT和NA诱导的大鼠肛门尾骨肌收缩是通过共同的α肾上腺素能受体介导的。5HT的作用可能是间接的,通过NA的释放介导。
