Following an intravenous injection of 100 micrograms hCRH a facial flushing can frequently be observed along with respiratory stimulation. Both effects can be mediated by a common transmitter. Serotonin is well known to produce facial flush as well as to modulate respiration. In order to clarify is serotonin is a common mediator for facial flush and respiratory stimulation after i.v. application of hCRH, we studied the time course of facial skin temperatures and respiratory stimulation after intravenous injection of 100 micrograms hCRH in 10 healthy subjects. Furthermore, we measured respiratory stimulation after i.v. administration of 100 micrograms hCRH in 10 healthy subjects pretreated with the serotonin antagonist cyproheptadine. Facial skin temperatures reached maximum levels 9 min after CRH administration and remained raised for more than 60 min. Respiratory stimulation occurred within the first minute after CRH administration and reached a maximum during the second minute, but could no longer be observed after 10 min. Serum serotonin levels did not change after CRH stimulation in doses up to 3 micrograms/kg body weight), and cyproheptadine did not abolish the respiratory stimulation effect of hCRH in a dosage sufficient to suppress CRH.-induced cortisol secretion.
