Incorporation coefficients k* of intravenously injected [3H]arachidonic acid from blood into brain reflect the release from phospholipids of arachidonic acid by receptor-initiated activation of phospholipase A2 (PLA2). In unanesthetized adult rats, 2.5 mg/kg intraperitoneally (i.p.) (±)2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodophenyl-2-aminopropane (DOI), which is a 5-HT2A/2C receptor agonist, has been reported to...
