摘要: The effects of para-chlorophenylalanine pre-treatment (PCPA, 150 mg/kg IP daily for 3 days) on feeding and stereotyped behaviour elicited by the serotonin agonist 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino) tetralin (8-OH-DPAT) in rats were investigated. PCPA depleted brain 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid concentrations 90% increased feding during a 2-h day-time test. 8-OH-DPAT (60–4000 μg/kg SC) food intake control animals but decreased PCPA-treated treatment had no effect 8-OH-DPAT-induced locomotion or serotonin-related (i.e. forepaw treading, headweaving, wet dog shakes, etc). Since prevents operation pre-synaptic serotonergic mechanisms, failure to increase suggests that hyperphagia is autoreceptor mediated.
