    Abstract:
    5-HT inhibits cardiac sympathetic neurotransmission in normoglycaemic rats, via 5-HT1B, 5-HT1D and 5-HT5A receptor activation. Since type 1 diabetes impairs the cardiac sympathetic innervation leading to cardiopathies, this study aimed to investigate whether the serotonergic influence on cardiac noradrenergic control is altered in type 1 diabetic rats. Diabetes was induced in male Wistar rats by streptozotocin (50 mg/kg, i.p.). Four weeks later, the rats were anaesthetized, pithed and prepared for producing tachycardic responses by electrical preganglionic stimulation (C7-T1) of the cardioaccelerator sympathetic outflow or i.v. noradrenaline bolus injections. Immunohistochemistry was performed to study 5-HT1B, 5-HT1D and 5-HT5A receptor expression in the stellate ganglion from normoglycaemic and diabetic rats. In the diabetic group, i) i.v. continuous infusions of 5-HT induced a cardiac sympatho-inhibition that was mimicked by the 5-HT1/5A agonist 5-carboxamidotryptamine (without modifying noradrenaline-induced tachycardia), but not by the agonists indorenate (5-HT1A), CP 93,129 (5-HT1B), PNU 142633 (5-HT1D), or LY344864 (5-HT1F); ii) SB 699551 (5-HT5A antagonist; i.v.) completely reversed 5-CT-induced cardiac sympatho-inhibition; and iii) 5-HT5A receptors were more expressed in the stellate ganglion compared to normoglycaemic rats. These results show the prominent role of the peripheral 5-HT5A receptors prejunctionally inhibiting the cardiac sympathetic drive in type 1 diabetic rats.
