| Abstract | 1. Experiments were carried out to characterize the receptors mediating the indirect excitatory response to 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) in the guinea-pig isolated trachea. 2. 5-HT caused concentration-dependent contractions of tracheal strips, and the resulting concentration-response curve was biphasic in nature. The first phase was obtained with agonist concentrations in the range of 0.01-3 nM and achieved a maximum which was 30% of the total 5-HT response, while the second phase was in the range 10 nM-1 microM. 3. Atropine (0.1 microM) and tetrodotoxin (TTX: 0.3 microM) significantly reduced both phases of the 5-HT curve. Morphine (10 microM), which can act to inhibit neuronal acetylcholine release, abolished the first phase and reduced the second phase. This suggests that the first phase is mainly neurogenic (cholinergic) in nature, while the second phase is in part neurogenic and in part due to direct activation of the effector cells. 4. The 5-HT2A receptor antagonist, ketanserin (0.01, 0.1 microM) markedly depressed the first phase and shifted the second phase to the right in a parallel manner, with some depression of the 5-HT response maximum. The less selective (5-HT1/5-HT2A) antagonist, methiothepin (0.1 microM) mimicked the action of ketanserin, albeit with less potency. Concomitant administration of ketanserin and methiothepin (each at 0.1 microM) produced an antagonism similar to that caused by ketanserin (0.1 microM) alone. 5. The 5-HT3 receptor antagonists, ondansetron (0.1 microM) and granisetron (0.01 microM) slightly but significantly inhibited the first phase of the 5-HT curve without altering the second phase. SDZ 205,557(0.3 MicroM), a 5-HT4 receptor antagonist, was ineffective.6. Our results suggest that neural 5-HT2A and, to a lesser extent, 5-HT3 receptor subtypes mediate the first phase of the 5-HT curve in the guinea-pig trachea. The second phase is mediated by 5-HT2Areceptors, which are probably located at both the neural and muscular level. No evidence for the participation of 5-HT1 receptors in the 5-HT response has been obtained. |

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.
