Amitriptyline-induced supersensitivity of a central muscarinic mechanism: lithium blocks amitriptyline-induced supersensitivity.

Chronic treatment with amitriptyline produces dose-dependent super-sensitivity of a central muscarinic cholinergic mechanism involved in the regulation of core body temperature. The authors demonstrated that chronic treatment with lithium prevents the induction of this response. The potential clinical and theoretical significance of this finding is set forth.

Pathophysiology of "cholinoceptor supersensitivity" in affective disorders.

Phenomenological and physiological variables demonstrate supersensitive changes to cholinergic challenge in affective disorder subjects. Theorists generally assume the primary defect is the postsynaptic muscarinic receptor. However, in addition to defectiveness or up-regulation of this receptor, the appearance of postsynaptic "cholinoceptor supersensitivity" can result from abnormal presynaptic...

Chronic treatment with amitriptyline produces supersensitivity to nicotine.

The authors used a thermoregulation paradigm to evaluate effects of amitriptyline (AMI) on the sensitivity of a nicotinic mechanism involved in the regulation of core temperature in rats. Treatment with this tricyclic was associated with a significant increase in the hypothermic response to nicotine. Supersensitivity persisted for a minimum of 7.5 days following the last dose of AMI, and a sign...
