Abstract
5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) administered intraventricularly (i.vent.) in rats produced hypertension without considerable changes in heart rate. After transsection of the spinal cord or i.vent. administration of methysergide, 5-HT failed to produce the pressor effect. Thus, the hypertension results from the activation of 5-HT receptor sites of the rat brain.Entities:
