✦ Synopsis

The hypothesis that systemically administered 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) reduces feeding by a specific action on satiation and satiety processes was examined using a food-rewarded runway task. Over the course of 15 successive trials, with food available for 2 min on each trial, the development of satiation was monitored following treatment with 5-HT (1 and 2 mg/kg SC) and saline. The 5-HT failed to alter runway performance over the early trials, but then induced marked decrements in running speed and food intake. Analysis of cumulative food intake curves showed that 5-HT significantly reduced food intake beginning at the point where a decline in the rate of feeding was observed under control conditions. These results indicate that 5-HT exerts its anorectic effect only after some food has been ingested, and support the hypothesis that 5-HT accelerates the development of satiation and satiety.

There is increasing evidence that adenosine (ADO) and dopamine (DA) interact directly in the basal ganglia via actions at ADO A,, and DA D2 receptors, respectively. The purpose of this study was to determine 1) the extent to which these receptors modulate endogenous GABA release in discrete regions
