- Abstract
The rise in transmural potential difference (PD) and the fluid secretion induced by 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) were measured in rat small intestine in-vivo. Both cisapride and ketanserin abolished the 5-HT-induced rise in systolic blood pressure mediated by 5-HT2 receptors. Cisapride inhibited the 5-HT-induced increases in the transintestinal PD, but over the same dose range it had no effect on the fluid secretion induced by 5-HT. In contrast, ketanserin caused a dose-dependent reduction in 5-HT-induced fluid secretion at doses that failed to influence the rise in PD. It is concluded that different receptors are responsible for the effects of 5-HT on fluid secretion and electrical activity in the rat small intestine.
