Abstract

Repeated treatment with 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT) resulted in significant attenuation of 8-OH-DPAT-induced hypothermia and adrenocorticol effect in mice of both sexes, while it did not affect the 8-OH-DPAT-induced decrease in 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid in the hypothalamus in either sex. The attenuated responses developed more rapidly in female than in male mice, indicating sex differences in the adaptive regulation of the 5-HT 1A receptor-mediated responses.
