  • Title: Do 5-HT4 receptors mediate the intestinal secretory response to 5-HT in rat in-vivo?
    Author: Franks CM, Hardcastle J, Hardcastle PT, Sanger GJ.
    Journal: J Pharm Pharmacol; 1995 Mar; 47(3):213-8. PubMed ID: 7602483.
    Abstract:
    The involvement of the recently characterized 5-HT4 receptor in the actions of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) on jejunal, ileal and colonic electrogenic ion secretion was investigated in the rat in-vivo. 5-HT and the 5-HT1-, 5-HT2- and 5-HT4-receptor agonist 5-methoxytryptamine (5-MeOT), induced a rise in transintestinal PD in all regions of the gut. However, the 5-HT4-receptor agonists renzapride and cisapride had no effect. Furthermore, the 5-HT4-receptor antagonists SDZ 205-557 (2-diethylaminoethyl-[2-methoxy-4-amino-5-chloro] benzoate), tropisetron and SB 204070 ([1-butyl-4-piperidinylmethyl]-8-amino-7-chloro-1,4- benzodioxan-5-carboxylate hydrochloride) did not affect the secretory response to either 5-HT or 5-MeOT in the jejunum, but did cause a small inhibition in the ileum and colon. It is concluded that 5-HT4 receptors do not make a contribution to the electrically monitored 5-HT intestinal secretory response in the rat jejunum in-vivo, but may play a small role in the ileum and colon.
