Pharmacological blockade of dopamine- and serotoninergic structures with haloperidol and cyproheptadine, respectively, attenuated hyperplasia of bone marrow granulocytopoiesis and erythropoiesis (cyproheptadine) caused by conflict situation. At the same time, haloperidol and, especially, cyproheptadine normalized suppressed erythropoiesis and modulated activated granulocytopoiesis under conditions of paradoxical sleep deprivation. These results indicate that central regulation of hemopoietic stems is mediated by different neurotransmitter mechanisms. Erythropoiesis depends on the state of serotoninergic structures, while granulocytopoiesis is regulated both by the dopamine- and serotoninergic systems.
