Myristic Acid Produces Anxiolytic-Like Effects in Wistar Rats in the Elevated Plus Maze
A mixture of eight fatty acids (linoleic, palmitic, stearic, myristic, elaidic, lauric, oleic, and palmitoleic acids) at similar concentrations identified in human amniotic fluid produces anxiolytic-like effects comparable to diazepam in Wistar rats. However, individual effects of each fatty acid remain unexplored. In Wistar rats, we evaluated the separate action of each fatty acid at the corre...
متن کاملAnxiolytic-like effects of olanzapine, risperidone and fluoxetine in the elevated plus-maze test in rats.
In the present study was examined the effect of treatment with olanzapine or risperidone, given separately or in combination with fluoxetine, in the elevated plus-maze test (an animal model of anxiety) in male Wistar rats. The obtained results showed that treatment with olanzapine (1 mg/kg), risperidone (0.1 and 0.3 mg/kg) or fluoxetine (5 and 10 mg/kg) induced an anxiolytic-like effect in the ...
متن کاملModulation of Anxiety-Like Behavior in Sildenafil Citrate-Treated Mice Placed in an Elevated Plus-Maze
Introduction: Sildenafil, a phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitor, may have various effects on the central nervous system via the nitric oxide (NO)-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) pathway. Preclinical studies have shown the controversial effect of sildenafil on anxiety-like behavior in animals. This study was undertaken to investigate the acute effect of sildenafil on anxiety-like behavior...
متن کاملAnxiolytic-like activity of SB-205384 in the elevated plus-maze test in mice.
Recent studies point to a major role for alpha2-containing GABA-A receptors in modulating anxiety. However, the possible implication of GABA-A receptors containing the alpha3 subunit on anxiety is less known. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of SB-205384 (0.5-4 mg/kg, i.p.), an alpha3 subunit positive modulator of GABA-A receptor, on anxiety tested in the elevated plus-maze in m...
متن کاملThe anxiogenic-like and anxiolytic-like effects of MDMA on mice in the elevated plus-maze: a comparison with amphetamine.
Many abused substances have been found to possess anxiogenic-like or/and anxiolytic-like properties. Discrepancies about the effects of MDMA, one of the most popular recreational drugs in recent years, on anxiety have been seen in the literature, and almost all of the data in this respect were derived from retrospective studies. The present study was thus designed to examine the drug's actions ...
