Abstract

The effects of the 5-HT1A agonist 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)-tetralin (8-OH-DPAT) on food intake were investigated in food-deprived rats. 8-OH-DPAT (25-100 microg/kg) administered subcutaneously immediately prior to the presentation of food produced a dose-related decrease in food intake in rats that had been fasted for 22 h. The hypophagic effect of 8-OH-DPAT (50 microg/kg) was abolished by pretreatment with the selective 5-HT1A receptor antagonist n-[2-(4-2-methoxyphenyl)-1-piperazinyl]-n-(2-pyridyl) cyclohexanecarboxamide (WAY 10063; 0.3 mg/kg). The results of this study show that the acute dose-dependent depressant effect of 8-OH-DPAT on food intake in fasted rats is mediated by an action at 5-HT1A receptors.
