Studies dealing with the effect of 5-HT on cerebral cortical microcirculation of cats and on permeability of femoral arteries to RISA of rabbits are presented. The effect of 5-HT on cerebral cortical microcirculation was compared to that of arterial blood withdrawal and blood reinfusion. The effect of topical administration of 5-HT was also studied. Cortical microcirculation was observed by transillumination using a microtransilluminator. Motion pictures were taken at a speed of 400 frames/sec. and a magnification of 3000X. Permeability was investigated using arterial RISA uptake in vessels perfused in vitro, with continuous recording of perfusion pressure. Microcirculatory studies revealed that arterial blood withdrawal and injection of 5-HT diminished red cell velocity, although to a different degree. With blood withdrawal and reinjection, good correlation existed between blood pressure and red cell velocity. In contrast, no correlation between blood pressure and red cell velocity was found after intracarotid injection of 5-HT. Reactive hyperemia was noted during reinfusion of blood. Both arterial blood withdrawal and 5-HT injection resulted in disappearance of red cells in individual vessels (unperfused channels). Good correlation of blood pressure with capillary red cell velocity during arterial blood withdrawal suggests absence of autoregulation in this portion of the microcirculation. Topical administration of 5-HT caused general vasoconstriction. Permeability to 5-HT to RISA followed a parabolic curve. With slight arterial vasoconstriction, permeability declined, while it rose with severe vasoconstriction.
