The effects of 5-HT uptake- and MAO-inhibitors on l-5-HTP-induced excitation in rats
1980
The behavioural syndrome caused by l-5-HTP in rats was used for the study of effects of selective 5-HT uptake inhibitors and inhibitors of MAO on central 5-HT receptors. A good correlation was found between the relative potencies of drugs in inhibiting the 5-HT uptake in the rat brain and in intensifying l-5-HTP-induced behavioural stimulation. The potentiation of the l-5-HTP syndrome by the MAO inhibitors correlated with the inhibition of the A- but not of the B-form of the brain monoamine oxidase.
