摘要
The effect of clonidine (0.1 mg/kg, i.p.), as a three-injection course, on behaviour in the forced swimming test was studied in rats injected intracerebroventricularly (i.c.v.) with 150-mu-g 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine (5,7-DHT) to destroy serotonin (5-HT) neurones or treated with 100 mg/kg (i.p.) (+/-)-sulpiride or 0.5-mu-g/0.5-mu-l (-)-sulpiride in the nucleus accumbens. Clonidine significantly increased struggling and reduced floating and the effects were antagonized by both treatments with sulpiride but not by 5,7-DHT which markedly depleted 5-HT in brain. The results suggest that the mesolimbic dopaminergic system but not 5-HT neurones, plays a permissive role in the antidepressant-like effect of clonidine in the forced swimming test.
