“…Thus if fentanyl, directly or indirectly, influences the intrasynaptic levels of serotonin, it could also influence the excitability of the spinal motoneurons [43]. Ketanserin is a quinazoline derivative and acts as a selective 5HT 2A receptor antagonist [44]. Even though ketanserin administration did not reverse the increased distance moved in fentanyl-treated pigs in the current study, this does not rule out a role of serotonin in fentanyl-induced locomotor activity.…”

“…Pigs in the fentanyl-saline group which received saline as injection 3 did not present with the transient ataxia but had a reduction in the duration of the stiff gait/posture pattern. The transient ataxia seen in pigs receiving ketanserin can possibly be explained by the blood pressure reducing capacity of the antagonist which is thought to be mediated primarily by antagonist action on the 5HT 2A receptor on arteriolar smooth muscle cells, and a possible weak α 1 -adrenergic receptor blocking effect [44,47,48]. Considering the short duration of the visible ataxia in this study, a transient drop in blood pressure seems like a plausible explanation.…”
