Effect of serotonin on subdiaphragmatic vagus nerve afferent discharge and its mechanism in rats
Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of serotonin (5-HT) and secretin(SEC) on afferent discharge of vagus in rats. Methods Spontaneous afferent discharge of subdiaphragmatic vagus nerve was recorded in urethane anesthetized rats. The effects of 5-HT
5-HT

receptor antagonist and 5-HT+SEC on the discharge of subdiaphragmatic vagus nerve were investigated by intravenous injection of different dosage of 5-HT(3

Granisetron (1 mg/kg) and 5-HT+SEC. Results Intravenous 5-HT caused obvious exciting effect on spontaneous afferent discharge of subdiaphragmatic vagus nerve. The 5-HT

receptor antagonist signific
antly inhibited the effects of 5-HT. 5-HT+SEC could augment the effect of 5-HT on spontaneous discharge. Conclusion The exciting effect of 5-HT on afferent discharge of subdiaphragmatic vagus nerve is possibly mediated by 5-HT

receptor related to vagus nerve afference. Secretin can augment the exciting effect of 5-HT on spontaneous discharge of vagus afferent nerve.
