Long-term fluoxetine, but not desipramine, inhibits the ACTH and oxytocin responses to the 5-HT1A agonist, 8-OH-DPAT, in male rats
Qian Li,Andrew D. Levy,Theresa M. Cabrera,Mark S. Brownfield,George Battaglia,Louis D. Van de Kar +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that chronic, but not acute, exposure to fluoxetine decreases 5-HT1A receptor function, which is not seen in rats chronically exposed to DMI.

Endocrine and receptor pharmacology of serotonergic anxiolytics, antipsychotics and antidepressants
TL;DR: The receptor binding profiles of 5-HT anxiolytics, antipsychotics and antidepressants with their endocrine effects are compared to aid in understanding both the therapeutic and side effects of these drugs.

Cocaine-induced elevation of plasma adrenocorticotropin hormone and corticosterone is mediated by serotonergic neurons.
Andrew D. Levy,Qian Li,Janice E. Kerr,Peter A. Rittenhouse,G. Milonas,Theresa M. Cabrera,George Battaglia,M. C. Alvarez Sanz,L.D. Van de Kar +8 more
TL;DR: The data indicate that the cocaine-induced stimulation of ACTH and corticosterone secretion is mediated by 5-HT neurons in brain, and furthermore, that 5- HT2 or5-HT1C receptors are responsible for this effect.

Attenuation of hormone responses to the 5-HT1A agonist ipsapirone by long-term treatment with fluoxetine, but not desipramine, in male rats
Qian Li,S Brownfield Mark,Andrew D. Levy,George Battaglia,Theresa M. Cabrera,Louis D. Van de Kar +5 more
TL;DR: The present results confirm the previous results using 8-OH-DPAT as a challenge, and suggest that chronic 5- HT uptake inhibition results in adaptive changes leading to decreased function of the 5-HT1A receptor system.

Evidence that ACTH secretion is regulated by serotonin2A/2C (5-HT2A/2C) receptors.
TL;DR: The present study characterized the serotonin (5-HT) receptor subtypes mediating adrenal corticotropic hormone (ACTH) and corticosterone responses to 5-HT agonists in conscious rats to suggest that DOI stimulates ACTH secretion through 5- HT2A receptors.
