Serotonin-containing neurons in the rat and cat brain, especially in the hypothalamus, following monoamine oxidase inhibitor pretreatment: an immunohistochemical study using anti-serotonin antiserum.
The presence of serotonin-containing neurons in the hypothalamus of the rat and cat was studied by immunohistochemistry. In the rat, a group of serotonin-immunoreactive neurons was observed in the nucleus dorsomedialis hypothalami following nialamide pretreatment at a high dosage (over 300 mg/kg). In the cat, serotonin-immunoreactive neurons were sparsely distributed in the ventral part of the middle to the caudal lateral hypothalamic area after high dosage (500 mg/kg) nialamide pretreatment.
