Supersensitivity to the respiratory stimulatory effect of TRH in 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine-treated rats

Rats treated neonatally with pargyline and 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine (5,7-DHT) have an elevated p aCO 2 and reduced minute ventilation when given 0.7% halothane in oxygen as adults. Serotonin content in the spinal cord of 5,7-DHT treated rats was undetectable and TRH content was reduced by 35%. The 5,...

Zusammenfassung:Rats treated neonatally with pargyline and 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine (5,7-DHT) have an elevated p aCO 2 and reduced minute ventilation when given 0.7% halothane in oxygen as adults. Serotonin content in the spinal cord of 5,7-DHT treated rats was undetectable and TRH content was reduced by 35%. The 5,7-DHT treated rats were supersensitive to the increase in minute ventilation and CO 2 sensitivity produced by intraventricular TRH. It is possible that the supersensitivity to exogenous TRH after neonatal 5,7-DHT treatment may be secondary to decreased availability of TRH in the CNS.
