Abstract Stimulation of muscarinic cholinergic receptors with the highly potent and selective receptor agonist oxotremorine produced hypothermia in rats. Alaproclate, a purported selective serotonergic reuptake inhibitor, potentiated this response. Destruction of central presynaptic serotonergic terminals with the potent cytotoxin p-chloroamphetamine (PCA) failed to attenuate the hypothermic response to oxotremorine in alaproclate-pretreated animals. These results could be taken to suggest that alaproclate may act, at least in part, via a non-serotonergic mechanism to potentiate the oxotremorine-induced hypothermic response.
