Effects of ethanol withdrawal on ethanol-reinforced responding in rhesus monkeys.

چکیده

Rhesus monkeys self-administered ethanol intravenously during daily, 3-h sessions. When ethanol-reinforced responding was stable and ethanol intake was in the range of 2.6-3.6 g/kg/3 h, physiological dependence to ethanol was induced by daily passive infusions of additional ethanol. In less than 1 week, mild to moderate withdrawal signs were observed prior to daily sessions. Ethanol intake was suppressed in the presence of these withdrawal signs and returned to normal only after withdrawal signs had subsided.

Variable interval responding maintained by intravenous codeine and ethanol injections in the rhesus monkey.

Rhesus monkeys were trained to respond under a variable interval 2 min schedule for codeine or ethanol injections. Both codeine and ethanol were effective in the initiation of variable-interval responding; responding was maintained over a range of codeine (0.003-1.0 mg/kg/injection) and ethanol doses (32.0-560 mg/kg/injection). Maximum rates of responding were obtained at the 0.01 mg/kg/injecti...

Conditioned effects produced by naltrexone doses that reduce ethanol-reinforced responding in rhesus monkeys.

Clinical trials have shown that naltrexone is effective in treating alcohol dependence; nausea and dysphoria have been reported as "side effects" in many of these studies. In primates, naltrexone reduces reinforced responding for oral ethanol, sucrose, and phencyclidine. This study was designed to determine if naltrexone reduces reinforced responding for various solutions by producing an intero...

The reinforcing property of ethanol in the rhesus monkey. I. Initiation, maintenance and termination of intravenous ethanol-reinforced responding.

Monkeys self-administer pharmacologically significant amounts of alcohol only under certain circumstances.8 For example, Deneau and colleagues' used a method that permitted a rhesus monkey to voluntarily self-administer ethanol solution through an indwelling venous catheter. They found that three of five monkeys initiated and maintained response-contingent deliveries of ethanol at a dose of 200...

Ethanol as a positive reinforcer via the oral route for rhesus monkeys: maintenance of fixed-ratio responding.

Two rhesus monkeys were required to emit 1 to 16 responses (FR 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16) per 0.5 ml delivery of either 8% (w/v( ethanol or water. Ethanol had been established as an effective reinforcer via the oral route in an earlier experiment [4]. At FR 16, responding maintained by ethanol clearly exceeded responding maintained by water for both monkeys. The volume of ethanol intake per session re...

Sex differences in physical dependence on orally self-administered phencyclidine (PCP) in rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta).

Withdrawal from orally self-administered phencyclidine (PCP) has been shown to alter operant baselines of food-maintained responding. The goal of the present study was to determine whether there are sex differences in these alterations. Seven female and 7 male rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) were given concurrent access to PCP and water under fixed ratio (FR) 8 schedules during 2 daily sessions...
