Article Synopsis
- The study explored how 5-HT(1A) somatodendritic autoreceptors in the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) influence salt intake in rats, particularly during sodium depletion.
- Acute administration of 8-OH-DPAT, a 5-HT(1A) agonist, led to increased salt intake, indicating its role in promoting salt preference.
- Chronic treatment with 8-OH-DPAT, however, reduced salt intake over time in sodium-depleted rats, suggesting these autoreceptors play a significant role in regulating both immediate and long-term responses to sodium levels.
