Abstract
We evaluated the effect of TJS-010, a new prescription of oriental medicine, on hypothermia and flat body posture in rats, induced by activation of serotonin (5-HT)-1A receptors by (+/-)-8-hydroxy-2-(di-N-propylamino)-tetralin (8-OH-DPAT). Hypothermia was induced by 8-OH-DPAT in a dose and time-dependent manner. The hypothermia induced by 0.1 mg/kg 8-OH-DPAT was enhanced by 500 and 750 mg/kg of TJS-010. At the concentration of 0.1 mg/kg, 8-OH-DPAT also produced flat body posture in rats, and 750 mg/kg TJS-010 increased the flat body posture. These results suggest that TJS-010 facilitates the 5-HT-1A receptors in the central nervous system.Entities:
