Previous literature suggests that the anorexic action of peripherally administered serotonin (5-HT) is mediated by 5-HT2 receptors. This study, therefore, examined the effect of DOI, a non-indole 5-HT2 agonist, on deprivation-induced feeding. Rats were first adapted to a schedule in which a milk die
Three 5-HT agonists produced a dose-related fall in open/total arm entry ratio in the elevated X-maze model of anxiety at doses which did not affect total entries. The relative potency, 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetra lin (8-OH-DPAT) much greater than 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (5-MeODMT)
