title: [Neurochemical analysis of the mechanism of action of serotoninergic substances on avoidance behavior in situations of acute stress].
abstract: The mechanism of action of 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HT, 10 mg/kg), quipazin (7 mg/kg), zimelidin (15 mg/kg) and m-chlorophenylpiperazine (5 mg/kg) was examined with the aid of some analyzer substances. The avoidance behavior under stress was used as criterion of estimation. The optimizing effect of 5-HT on the avoidance behavior was demonstrated to be a consequence of serotonin synthesis activation and its release with activation of postsynaptic 5-HT-1-receptors. An adverse effect of quipazin on the avoidance behavior was, to a greater degree, due to the activation of 5-HT-2-autoreceptors rather than of dopamine receptors. The inhibitory effect of m- chlorphenylpiperazine was reversed by administration of pyrenepyrone , a blocker of 5-HT-2-receptors. The inhibitory effect of zimelidine on the avoidance behavior was not removed by clonidin . The positive effect on the avoidance behavior under stress occurs as a result of exposures that activate the synthesis and release of 5-HT as well as of activation of postsynaptic 5-HT-1 receptors.
