Dose‐dependent effects of the 5‐HT1A receptor agonist 8‐OH‐DPAT on sleep and wakefulness in the rat

Abstract: SUMMARY Sleep and wakefulness were studied in rats following administration of a selective 5-HTIA agonist (&OH-DPAT), a non-selective 5-HTl, antagonist [( -) pindolol] and a combination of 8-OH-DPAT and (-) pindolol. 8-OH-DPAT (1.0-4.0 pg) injected into the dorsal raphe nucleus increased slow-wave sleep and decreased wakefulness. Administration of the 5-HT,, agonist by subcutaneous route induced biphasic effects such that low doses (0.010 mg kg-I) decreased wakefulness and increased slow-wave sleep while highe… Show more

“…These pharmacological results suggest that serotonin may suppress the activity of hypothalamocortical and basalo-cortical wake-promoting systems. Conversely, a number of other pharmacological studies utilizing various agonists and antagonists of different types of 5-HT receptors and 5-HT1A receptor knock-out mice suggest 5-HT may be involved in maintaining wakefulness (Bjorvatn et al, 1997;Boutrel et al, 2002;Dugovic et al, 1989;Dzoljic et al, 1992;Monti and Jantos, 1992;Ponzoni et al, 1993;Ursin, 1976;Wojcik et al, 1980). Thus, after reviewing the existing evidence, we suggest that serotonergic cells in the RN may participate in both wakefulness and SWS with processes yet to be elucidated.…”

“…It has been proposed that 5-HT 1A receptor agonist may influence wakefulness, NREMS and REMS depending on the dose and agonist used [36][37][38]. Nevertheless, the biphasic effect of serotonin on sleep-wake regulation may be due to the fact that serotonin can act at distinct brain regions that involve the control of sleep-wake activity, and that of different distributions of different 5-HT receptor subtypes in the brain [39].…”

“…Systemic administration of agonists for 5HT 1A , 5HT 1B , 5HT 2A/2C or 5HT 3 receptors causes an increase in wakefulness and a decrease in sleep (reviewed in75). Local administration of a 5HT 1A receptor agonist to the dorsal raphé nucleus increases wakefulness in rat76 but increases REM sleep in cat 77. Microinjection of a 5HT 2A/2C receptor agonist into rat dorsal raphé nucleus also decreases REM sleep with no significant effect on wakefulness 78.…”
