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.
متن کاملCold stress and cholinergic supersensitivity.
To the Editor: In the rat (adult male Sprague-Dawley) chronic forced swim stress (Dilsaver et al. 1986) and chronic inescapable footshock (Dilsaver and Alessi 1987) induce marked supersensitivity to the hypothermic effects of the muscarinic cholinergic agonist oxotremorine. These observations are consistent with a report that immobilization of 10 min duration activates the septohippocampal musc...
متن کاملCholinergic mechanisms in depression.
Evidence supporting a cholinergic hypothesis of depression is presented. First, cholinergic overdrive produces behavioral, neuroendocrine, and polysomnographic features of melancholia, and melancholics exhibit state-independent supersensitivity to cholinergic overdrive. Drugs inducing up-regulation and supersensitivity of cholinergic systems produce behavioral, polysomnographic, and neuroendocr...
متن کاملAmitriptyline supersensitizes a central cholinergic mechanism.
The withdrawal of tricyclic antidepressants produces symptoms characteristic of cholinergic overdrive states. The authors previously proposed that these states are the consequence of the pharmacological induction of cholinergic system supersensitivity by chronic treatment with antidepressants, combined with a reduction in the plasma level of a competitive muscarinic receptor antagonist when the...
متن کاملAdministration of NaHS Attenuates Footshock-Induced Pathologies and Emotional and Cognitive Dysfunction in Triple Transgenic Alzheimer’s Mice
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by progressive cognitive decline and neuropsychiatric symptoms. Increasing evidence indicates that environmental risk factors in young adults may accelerate cognitive loss in AD and that Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) may represent an innovative treatment to slow the progression of AD. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of NaHS, an H2S...
