A lateral tail vein was cannulated with a 25 gauge needle for the administration of additional anesthesia or drug solutions. A hole was drilled over the A9 and AlO areas and the dura retracted. Single barrel microelectrodes were used for recording single cell dopamine deacetylase inhibitor activity. Glass micropipettes which were pulled with an electrode puller and also the tip broken back below a light microscope, were filled with a solution of 2 M NaCl saturated with 1% Rapidly Green dye. The impedance from the electrodes was commonly 0. 7 0. 9 M/2 measured at 135 Hz in vitro and 1. 5 2. 0 M/2 in vivo. The electrode was passed through the A9 and AlO locations making use of a hydraulic microdrive till a dopamine cell was located.
The 8 OH DPAT Dinaciclib induced hypothermia in mice, considered to be a result of stimulation of presynaptic 5 HTia receptors , is not modified by the acute or chronic administration of FLU Thus FLU seems neither to affect presynaptic 5 HTi receptors, nor to evoke their adaptive changes when it is administered chronically. As has already been mentioned in the Introduction, FLU m vitro shows no affinity for 5 HTia receptors. It is of interest to note that the 5 HT uptake inhibitors citalopram and sertraline antagonise the 8 OH DPAT mduced hypothermia, but not the behavioural syndrome, following chronic administration.
The homogenate was then further diluted to 100 and 200 volumes with buffer and aliquots were withdrawn at each dilution. Binding assays were performed in 16 X 100 mm polypropylene test tubes. Aliquots of 0. 9 ml of homogenate were incubated for 30 min at 25 C in the presence of ~ 0. 5 nM granisetron, in a final volume of 1 ml. Non specific binding was determined from samples of homogenates of control mice incubated in the presence of 100 nM R,S zacopride. Incubations were terminated by filtration over Whatman GF/C filters which had been presoaked for 2 h in 0. 3% polyethylenimine in water. Filters were then washed with 2 X 7. 5 ml of 10 mM HEPES buffer PARP at room temperature, immersed in 10 ml of scintillation liquid, and the radioactivity was counted by scintillation spectrometry.
