Chronic melatonin treatment reverses disruption of prepulse inhibition in pinealectomized and pinealectomized-plus-ovariectomized rats.
Although melatonin has been implicated in several neurophysiological systems, data on the relationship of melatonin with psychosis such as schizophrenia are limited and contradictory. Chronic effects of melatonin on sensorimotor gating deficits have also not been investigated yet. We investigated the neurobehavioral effects of chronic administration of melatonin in pinealectomized (Px) and ovar...
متن کاملProgesterone does not affect cocaine-induced conditioned place preference or locomotor activity in male rats.
INTRODUCTION The present study aimed to determine if, as occurs in female rats, progesterone attenuates cocaine-induced reward and psychomotor responses in male rats. METHODS The role of progesterone in the acquisition and/or expression of cocaine-induced conditioned place preference (CPP) and locomotor responses of intact male rats was studied. For chronic progesterone treatment, rats receiv...
متن کاملCocaine-induced locomotor activity is enhanced by exogenous testosterone.
Anabolic-androgenic steroids are synthetic derivatives of testosterone, which are increasingly abused by adolescent populations who also abuse psychoactive substances. All these compounds lead to complex behavioral syndromes and the effects of their interactions remain unclear. The main aim of the present study was to determine the influence of testosterone on the locomotor activity-promoting e...
متن کامل"effect of apamin on tolerance to cocaine-induced locomotor activity in mice"
in the present study, the effect of apamin (potassium channel blocker) on tolerance to cocaine-induced locomotor activity in mice has been investigated. locomotor activity was measured by locomotor activity meter, animax, type s (lkb, farrad). intraperitoneal (ip) injection of different doses of cocaine (2.5, 5, 10 and 15 mg/kg) produced dose-dependent locomotor activity in mice.animals were tr...
متن کاملIntra-accumbal injection of CART (cocaine-amphetamine regulated transcript) peptide reduces cocaine-induced locomotor activity.
Evidence suggests that CART (cocaine-amphetamine regulated transcript) peptides are mediators or modulators of the actions of psychostimulant drugs. In this study, the effects of intra-accumbal injections of rat long form (rl) CART 55-102 were examined. Injection of the peptide alone had no effect, but pretreatment with the peptide blunted or reduced the locomotor-inducing effects of cocaine af...
