Abstrakt: 5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) is implicated in the platelet-vessel wall interactions during hemostasis. Indeed, the tall bleeding time and the initial blood loss in rats are significantly increased by platelet amine depletion with reserpine/parachlorophenylalanine, by the specific 5-HT2 receptor antagonists ketanserin, R 55 667 and R 56 433 and by the ergot derivatives metergoline and methysergide. In the dose range affecting hemostasis, the serotonergic receptor antagonists also inhibit the 5-HT-amplified aggregation of ADP-sensitized platelets in rat whole blood. Bleeding times are also prolonged by α-adrenergic receptor antagonism with prazosin or phentolamine, by specific thromboxane A2-synthetase inhibition with R 59 655 or dazoxiben, and by anticoagulant treatment.
