摘要: AN increased turnover of brain serotonin (5-hydroxy-tryptamine; 5-HT) occurs in rats exposed to high environmental temperature; when the synthesis 5-HT is blocked a more rapid depletion at an ambient temperature 40° C (ref. 1). In addition, concentration principal metabolite 5-HT, 5- hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA), this (personal communication from R. K. McDonald). The mechanism activation not known, but similar increase 5-HIAA seen neurones containing (situated caudal midbrain raphe2) are electrically stimulated3,4. It follows that temperatures could result acceleration firing rate 5-HT. (+)-Lysergic diethylamide (LSD) completely inhibits 5). We have given LSD test possibility found these conditions prevented by drug which 5-HT-containing neurones.
