[Effect of 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine on pain sensitivity and analgesic activity of morphine].

Electron microscopy of rats ultrathin sections from dorsal and central raphe nucleus and spinal cord after 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine intracisternal microinjection (200 micrograms) has revealed neurones and axonal terminals distruction, which associated with tail-flick hypoalgesia and blood pressure nociceptive reactions diminished. In this condition the morphine (2 mg/kg) analgesia and drug depressive effect on pain hemodynamic manifestations increase significantly.
