Abstract
Functional studies suggest that ergometrine is a partial agonist involving 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptors in rat uterus. Ergometrine displaced [3H]5-HT from specific binding sites in rat brain, but did not displace [3H]5-HT at functionally important concentrations in rat myometrium. These binding studies indicate that the agonist and antagonist actions of ergometrine in rat uterus arise from its initial interaction with binding sites other than those for 5-HT.
