It is generally accepted that prostaglandins (PGs) are nociceptive substances. However, earlier studies from this laboratory indicated that morphine analgesia, in the rat, was not only serotonin mediated, but involved PGs as well. Several PG synthesis inhibitors were shown to inhibit morphine analge
The antinociceptive action of several analgesics was studied by two methods: the hot-plate and the tail compression tests. Lesions of the midbrain raphe, which produce a marked depletion of serotonin in the forebrain, antagonize the analgesic effect of morphine but not that of methadone, meperidine
## Abstract Vascular spasm is often present after microsurgical procedures, and its presence or absence can greatly influence the success rate of such operations. Prostaglandin E~1~ (PGE1) is known to be a potent vasodilator and antiaggregator of small blood vessels. Using intravital videomicroscop
Prostaglandin E1-(PGE1-) induced inhibition of pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) convulsions in rats were significantly antagonized after pretreatment with drugs known to reduce brain serotonin activity, but not by pharmacological agents that decrease brain catecholamine activity. PGF2alpha also significantly
