Environmental factors altered the 5HT response to MDMA. Animals were placed on a treadmill at 22 or 32 °C and treadmill motor power was turned on during a time period of 0-30 min (see details in Methods section). Data are mean ± s.e.m (N = 4-8). A, Environmental factors had no effect on basal 5HT overflow. B, The effect of MDMA was not potentiated by physical stimulation or warm temperature alone. In contrast, a multifactorial combination potentiated MDMA-induced increases in the 5HT overflow. *P<0.05, **P<0.01vs. freely behaving rats at 22 °C.
