LY393558 (1-20 mg/kg; p.o., single) raises extracellular levels of 5-HT to 200-250% at 1 mg/kg in guinea pigs model, while levels of 5-HT to approximately 1500% at the highest dose 20 mg/kg[1].
LY393558 (20 mg/kg; p.o., single) completely abolishes the reduction of levels of 5-HT induced by tetrodotoxin (1μM) in guinea pigs model[1].
LY393558 (1-20 mg/kg; p.o., single) significantly increases extracellular levels of 5-HT in rats model[1].
LY393558 (5 mg/kg/day; p.o., 21 days) can still elicit a further increase in extracellular 5-HT in chronic treatment[1].
