| Abstract | 1. The role of vasoconstrictor 5-HT1-like receptors in the control of vascular reactivity in vivo has been relatively little studied, particularly with regards to venous function. Using an anaesthetized dog model, we have investigated the haemodynamic profile of the selective 5-HT1-like agonist, sumatriptan, focussing on the reactivity of the saphenous venous bed. The key feature of our experimental model was the implantation of ultrasonic crystals on the adventitial surface of the lateral saphenous vein to provide direct and continuous measurement of drug-induced changes in vein diameter. Saphenous vein pressure was measured simultaneously via a proximal branch. 2. Sumatriptan 1-30 micrograms kg-1, i.v., produced pronounced dose-related reductions in saphenous vein diameter which reached congruent to 40% at the highest dose tested. Sumatriptan also produced modest increases in mean blood pressure, total peripheral resistance and left ventricular end diastolic pressure but had little or no effect on cardiac output, heart rate, cardiac contractility or saphenous venous pressure. Sumatriptan-induced reductions in saphenous vein diameter were strongly antagonized by the 5-HT1-receptor antagonist, methiothepin (0.3 mg kg-1, i.v.) but were unaffected by the 5-HT2 antagonist, ketanserin (0.3 mg kg-1, i.v.). 3. Hence, 5-HT1-like receptor stimulation in vivo can result in a powerful local venoconstrictor effect. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
