Myoclonus induced by catechol in the guinea-pig is not altered by manipulation of cerebral 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT). The administration of catechol does not alter brain levels of 5-HT or its metabolite 5-hydroxyindole acetic acid. This form of myoclonus therefore is not of relevance to the 5-HT-sensitive post-anoxic action myoclonus occurring in man.
儿茶酚在豚鼠中诱发的肌阵挛不会因对脑内5-羟色胺(5-HT)的操作而改变。给予儿茶酚不会改变脑内5-HT或其代谢产物5-羟吲哚乙酸的水平。因此,这种形式的肌阵挛与人类发生的对5-HT敏感的缺氧后动作性肌阵挛无关。
