Loperamide Inhibits Tachykinin NK3-Receptor-Triggered Serotonin Release Without Affecting NK2-Receptor-Triggered Serotonin Release From Guinea Pig Colonic Mucosa
The effect of loperamide on tachykinin NK2- and NK3-receptor-mediated 5-HT outflow from guinea pig colonic mucosa was investigated in vitro. The selective tachykinin NK2-receptor agonist [β-Ala8]-neurokinin A4–10 (βAla-NKA) or the selective NK3-receptor agonist senktide elicited an increase in 5-HT...
