Chronopharmacological study of antidepressants in forced swimming test of mice.
The influence of dosing time on the anti-immobility effect of antidepressants and mechanisms underlying this phenomenon were investigated in mice. In the forced swimming test (FST), the immobility time of mice treated with amitriptyline (15 mg/kg) and fluvoxamine (30 mg/kg) showed a significant 24-h rhythm. The anti-immobility effect of fluvoxamine in FST was potent at the early part of the dar...
متن کاملInteraction of zinc with antidepressants in the forced swimming test in mice.
Recent preclinical data have suggested that glutamate NMDA receptor may be involved in the mechanism of action of antidepressant treatments. Functional antagonists of the NMDA receptor complex exhibit an antidepressant-like effect in animal tests that predict antidepressant activity and in animal models of depression. Zinc, a very potent inhibitor of the NMDA receptor, is active in the forced s...
متن کاملAntidepressant behavioral effects of duloxetine and fluoxetine in the rat forced swimming test.
PURPOSE To compare the effects of the antidepressant drugs duloxetine and fluoxetine on depressive behaviors in rodents. METHODS Eighteen male Wistar rats were given systemic injections of duloxetine, fluoxetine, or saline prior to a Forced Swimming Test (FST). Immobility and number of stops were measured. RESULTS Rats given injections of fluoxetine displayed significantly less immobility (...
متن کاملRepeated rat-forced swim test: Reducing the number of animals to evaluate gradual effects of antidepressants
The forced swim test (FST) is a pre-clinical test to short and long term treatment with antidepressant drugs (ADT), which requires between-subject designs. Herein a modified protocol of the FST using within-subject design (repeated rat-FST) was evaluated. Male Wistar rats were submitted to 15 min of swimming (Day 1: pretest) followed by three subsequent 5 min-swimming tests one week apart (Day ...

METHODS Fifteen male Wistar rats were given systemic injections of duloxetine, amitriptyline or saline prior to a Forced Swimming Test (FST). Immobility and number of stops were measured.
