Information regarding the effects of endogenous 5-HT on 5-HT_1A receptors can be determined by administration of an antagonist such as A) buspirone. B) 8-OH-DPAT. C) WAY-100635. D) ipsapirone.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

WAY-100635 is a selective antagonist of the 5-HT1A receptor, which is one of the subtypes of the 5-HT1 receptors. Therefore, administration of this antagonist can help determine the effects of endogenous 5-HT on 5-HT1A receptors. Choices A, B, and D are not selective for the 5-HT1A receptor and can interact with other receptors as well, making them less suitable for determining the effects of endogenous 5-HT specifically on 5-HT1A receptors.
