  • Title: Repeated treatment with imipramine, amitriptyline or electroconvulsive shock does not affect the 8-OH-DPAT-induced increase in food intake in free feeding rats.

    Journal: Pol J Pharmacol Pharm; 1990; 42(4):327-32. PubMed ID: 2151467.
    Abstract:
    We studied the effect of repeated treatment with imipramine, amitriptyline (10 mg/kg po, twice daily for 14 days) or electroconvulsive shock (ECS, once daily for 10 days) on the 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT)-induced increase in food intake in free feeding rats. The response to 8-OH-DPAT, measured 24 h after the last administration of the antidepressant drugs or ECS, was not modified. These results, together with literature data, indicate that the presynaptic 5-HT1A receptors involved in the 8-OH-DPAT-induced feeding are not affected by long-term antidepressant administration.
