In this study, we examined the interaction of 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptors in the rat medial prefrontal cortex (mPFc) using the techniques of extracellular single unit recording and microiontophoresis. The iontophoresis of the selective 5-HT1A receptor agonist (+-)-8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino) tetralin (8-OHDPAT)

Serotonin is frequently analysed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with electrochemical detection. However, the accuracy of these methods may be affected by the presence of certain drugs. We describe for the first time the interference of paracetamol in therapeutic dosages
Simultaneous micro-determination of serotonin and 5-hydroxyindole-3-acetic acid with 5-hydroxy-N omega-methyltryptamine, as an internal standard, in biological materials by high-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection.

1. The effects of the 5-HT2 receptor agonist alpha-methyl-5-HT were studied on the membrane of expiratory (E2) and post-inspiratory (PI) neurones, by intracellular recordings in the caudal medulla of anaesthetized cats. 2. Ionophoresis of alpha-Me-5-HT depolarized membrane potential and increased
