title: [Effect of serotonin on the contractile activity of the cat duodenum].
abstract: In cats, distention of an isolated segment of the ileum with a saline injection elicited its contraction which could be abolished with blockade of muscarinic receptors. Serotonine acting from the ileum lumen enhanced the response, whereas acting from the vascular bed induced a contractile response which could be decreased with the beta-adrenoreceptor-blocking agent propranolol. The findings suggest a possibility of the serotonine participation in realisation of peristaltic reflex, the character of its modulating effect being dependent on activation of excitatory cholinergic and inhibitory nonadrenergic neurons.
