Abstract: The effects of serotonin receptor agonist 5-methoxytryptamine and quipazine, and antagonist mianserin on resident-intruder offensive aggression were investigated. Both agonist reduced aggression. The fact that 5-methoxytryptamine preferentially binds to 5-HT-1 receptors strongly suggest that the decreased aggression with 5-methoxytryptamine was related to stimulation of an inhibition 5-HT-1 receptor. It is also suggested that the reduction in aggression with quipazine was related to quipazine’s preferential bindings to the 5-HT-1 receptor. The 5-HT-2 receptor antagonist mianserin reduced aggression suggesting that 5-HT-2 receptor blockade is inhibitory for aggression. Thus, two serotonin classes of receptors may be differentially involved in offensive aggression. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
