A 5-HT1-like receptor mediates a sympathetic ganglionic hyperpolarization.

5-HT induced a hyperpolarization of the rat superior cervical ganglion in vitro which was resistant to both MDL 72222 (10 microM), a 5-HT3 antagonist, and ketanserin (1 microM), a 5-HT2 antagonist. The 5-HT1-selective ligands 5-carboxamidotryptamine and 8-OH-DPAT also hyperpolarized the ganglion. The 5-HT-induced hyperpolarization was potently antagonised by spiperone. These results suggest that 5-HT hyperpolarizes the rat superior cervical ganglion via a 5-HT1-like receptor which resembles the central 5-HT1A binding site.[1]
