One hour after mianserine administration, brain 5-HT [5-hydroxytryptamine] concentration was reduced; the greatest decrease was observed with 2.5 mg/kg dose. This reduction lasted for 1 h. Brain 5-HT turnover was increased by all mianserine doses used. The increase in brain 5-HT turnover after a single injection lasted for 8 h. This increase may be related to central 5-HT receptor inhibition.
