Intravenous administration of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5HT) 1A receptor agonist (8-OH-DPAT) inhibits cold-induced ear pinna cutaneous vasoconstriction in conscious rabbits. Microinjection of 5-HT1A receptor antagonist (WAY-100635), into the medullary raphé/parapyramidal region reverses the ear pinna cutaneous vasomotor response to intravenous administration of 8-OH-DPAT. Records of ultrasonic Doppler signal measuring phasic ear pinna blood flow in conscious freely moving rabbits. Modified from Ootsuka and Blessing.101 © Elsevier. Permission to reuse must be obtained from the rightsholder. The second intravenous injection of 8-OH-DPAT after the WAY-100635 did not cause significant effect on cutaneous blood flow, confirming antagonize action of WAY-100635 on 8-OH-DPAT.
