摘要
Adult male rats were exposed to a series of unpredictable stressors, a paradigm considered to be a model of experimental depression, with or without concurrent administration of imipramine. One day after the last stress event of the chronic regime, binding of cortical beta-adrenoceptors and the behavioral serotonin (5-HT) syndrome induced by 5-methoxy-N,N,dimethyltryptamine (5-MeODMT) were determined in all the experimental groups. Stressed rats showed an "up-regulation" of cortical beta-adrenergic sites, while similar values to control rats were observed when stressed animals were administered imipramine. Regarding the behavioral 5-HT syndrome, comparable behavioral scores were observed between controls and chronically stressed rats. The combination of chronic exposure to different stressors with imipramine treatment resulted in a significant increase of forepaw treading and Straub tail scores. The probable facilitation of behavioral deficits induced by this scheme of chronic stress and the recovery following concurrent administration of imipramine are discussed. © 1990.
