Until recently, (ฯฎ)fenfluramine (FEN) was widely prescribed as an appetite suppressant. In animals, FEN is a potent and selective brain serotonin neurotoxin. The present studies assessed the effects of phentermine (PHEN), an appetite suppressant frequently used clinically in combination with FEN, on
Combined administration of the amphetamine analogs phentermine and fenfluramine (PHEN/FEN) has been used in the treatment of obesity. While these medications are thought to modulate monoamine transmission, the precise neurochemical effects of the PHEN/FEN mixture have not been extensively studied. T
This study examined the relationship between the magnitude of tissue serotonin (5-HT) depletion produced by treatment with the neurotoxin 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine (5,7-DHT) and basal and fenfluramine-induced 5-HT release in the striatum. Separate groups of rats were treated with either vehicle or 5,7
