Abstract:
:The effects of serotonin (5-HT) on a beta-adrenergic response were studied, using the voltage clamp technique, in Xenopus laevis oocytes surrounded by their follicular cells. noradrenaline induced marked hyperpolarization, with a specific increase in the permeability of the membrane toward K+. Application of 10 microM 5-HT had little effect on the resting membrane, but significantly depressed the response to 0.1 microM noradrenaline. The dose-response curve for noradrenaline showed a parallel shift to the right in the presence of 5-HT, suggesting that 5-HT competes with noradrenaline for common binding sites at the beta-adrenoceptor.
