Tryptophan-deficient diet increases the neurochemical and behavioral response to amphetamine.

چکیده
The present study examined the effects of a tryptophan-deficient diet on behavioral and neurochemical response to amphetamine. A tryptophan-deficient diet (14 days) decreased striatal serotonin and 5-hydroxyindolacetic acid content in rats. Under the latter conditions, amphetamine increased dopamine efflux in striatum and nucleus accumbens and produced a greater increase in motor activity when compared to controls. These results indicate how response to psychostimulants might be altered in the presence of a tryptophan-deficient diet.

Effect of Tryptophan Supplementation in Protein Deficient Diets on Performance, Gut Development and Immune Responses in Broiler Chickens
The current trial was conducted to investigate effects of tryptophan (Trp) supplementation in crude protein (CP) deficient diets on performance, gut development and immune responses in broiler chickens. A total of 420 day-old broiler chicks (Ross 308) were assigned to one of 6 dietary treatments, comprising 5 replicates in a completely randomized design including: 1) control diet (CTL) (diet ...
متن کاملA diet promoting sugar dependency causes behavioral cross-sensitization to a low dose of amphetamine.
Previous research in this laboratory has shown that a diet of intermittent excessive sugar consumption produces a state with neurochemical and behavioral similarities to drug dependency. The present study examined whether female rats on various regimens of sugar access would show behavioral cross-sensitization to a low dose of amphetamine. After a 30-min baseline measure of locomotor activity (...
متن کاملAn inhibitory role for brain serotonin-containing systems in the locomotor effects of d-amphetamine.
Locomotor activity induced by d-amphetamine was found to be potentiated by food deprivation, a tryptophan-free diet, p-chlorophenylalanine and drugs proposed to antagonize serotonin receptors in brain. Administration of L-tryptophan 1 hour prior to d-amphetamine injection was found to antagonize the enhanced response to d-amphetamine in starved rats and in rats which had tryptophan removed from...
متن کاملEstrogen rapidly potentiates amphetamine-induced striatal dopamine release and rotational behavior during microdialysis.
Ovariectomy (OVX) of female rats results in a decreased behavioral response to stimulation of the mesostriatal dopamine (DA) system and decreased striatal DA release in vitro. Estrogen replacement restores both behavioral and neurochemical responsiveness. In this report, microdialysis in freely moving rats is used to simultaneously study the behavioral and neurochemical effects of systemic estr...
متن کاملA single exposure to amphetamine is sufficient to induce long-term behavioral, neuroendocrine, and neurochemical sensitization in rats.
Repeated treatment with psychostimulant drugs causes long-lasting behavioral sensitization and associated neuroadaptations. Although sensitization induced by a single psychostimulant exposure has also been reported, information on the behavioral and neurochemical consequences of a single psychostimulant exposure is sparse. Therefore, to evaluate whether behavioral sensitization evoked by single...
