Abstract
Inotropic responses to 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) in human and porcine atrium can fade, suggesting 5-HT(4) receptor desensitization. De Maeyer et al., however, show in this issue that inhibition of phosphodiesterases with isobutyl-methyl-xanthine prevents fading of 5-HT(4) receptor-mediated responses to 5-HT and the partial agonist prucalopride in porcine atrium.Entities:
