Characterization of presynaptic 5-HT receptors on adrenergic nerves supplying the bovine ovarian follicle
(1987) In British Journal of Pharmacology 92(3). p.97-487- Abstract
1. The effects of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) on contraction and release of [3H]-noradrenaline were investigated in vitro in bovine ovarian follicle strips. Using available selective agonists and antagonists, an effort was made to characterize the type of receptor mediating the inhibitory effect of 5-HT on neurogenic contraction and release of [3H]-noradrenaline by electrical field stimulation. 2. 5-Hydroxytryptamine inhibited the neurogenic contraction and release of [3H]-noradrenaline evoked by electrical field stimulation in a concentration-dependent manner. Like 5-HT, 5-carboxamidotryptamine (5-CT) and methysergide reduced the transmitter release as well as the neurogenic contraction, whereas 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino) tetralin... (More)

Like 5-HT, 5-carboxamidotryptamine (5-CT) and methysergide reduced the transmitter release as well as the neurogenic contraction, whereas 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino) tetralin (8-OH-DPAT) failed to inhibit both responses in concentrations up to 0.1 microM. 3. The 5-HT (1 microM)-induced inhibition of contractile responses was more evident during stimulation at low frequencies (4 and 8 Hz) than during high frequency electrical stimulation (16 and 32 Hz). 4. Methiothepin (1 microM) and methysergide (10 microM) significantly antagonized the inhibitory effect of 5-HT on the electrically evoked release of tritium, whereas cyanopindolol, MDL 72222 and ketanserin (all 0.1 microM) were without effect. In addition, ketanserin, MDL 72222, cimetidine, pyrilamine, atropine, propranolol and indomethacin were without effect on the 5-HT-induced inhibition of the neurogenic contraction. 5. It is suggested that 5-HT inhibits the electrically evoked transmitter release from adrenergic nerves in the bovine ovarian follicle wall via prejunctional 5-HT1-like receptors. This was based on the findings that 5-CT was a potent agonist, methiothepin an antagonist and the lack of effect of MDL 72222, cyanopindolol and ketanserin.
