Abstract
The analgesic effect of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT, 200 and 250 micrograms/kg) administered into the lumbar intrathecal space of rats was blocked in the tail-flick, hot-plate and shock titration tests of nociception when the animals had previously been treated with N-2-chloroethyl-N-ethyl-2-bromobenzylamine (DSP4), which depletes noradrenaline in the spinal cord. These results suggest an important modulatory role of noradrenaline upon spinal 5-HT mechanisms.Entities:
