title: [Quipazine antagonizing baclofen activity. Influence of baclofen and gamma-hydroxybutyric acid on serotonin metabolism in rat brain (author's transl)].
abstract: Baclofen increases the concentration of serotonin (5-HT) and 5-hydroxyindolacetic acid (5-HIAA) in the rat c. striatum without causing concomitant increase in 5-HT biosynthesis. The effect of baclofen on 5-HIAA, but not that on 5-HT, was antagonized dose-dependently by quipazine. It is assumed that quipazine acts by stimulating 5-HT autoreceptors.
