title: Reactivity of rat basilar artery to serotonin after short-term ischemia of hindbrain and during chronic vertebrobasilar insufficiency.
abstract: Contractile responses of the basilar artery to serotonin were examined in vitro on two models of circulation disturbances in the vertebrobasilar region of the brain. Two days after 30-min reversible occlusion of vertebral arteries, the sensitivity of the basilar artery to serotonin decreased, while chronic vertebrobasilar insufficiency had no effect on serotonin-induced contraction.
