Effects of SCH 23390, Raclopride, and Haloperidol on Morphine Withdrawal-Induced Aggression in Male Mice
1999
Abstract RODRIGUEZ-ARIAS, M., J. PINAZO, J. MINARRO AND L. STINUS. Effects of SCH 23390, raclopride, and haloperidol on morphine withdrawal-induced aggression in male mice. PHARMACOL BIOCHEM BEHAV 64(1) 123–130, 1999.—Dopamine seems to play a very important role in aggressive behavior observed in morphine withdrawal. The effect of SCH 23390 (0.5 mg/kg), raclopride (0.3 mg/kg), and haloperidol (0.1 mg/kg) on morphine withdrawal-induced aggression has been studied in this work. Mice were rendered dependent by a daily injection of morphine (2.5 mg/kg) for 14 days. Three different experiments were carried out with the objective to evaluate the antiaggressive effect of the dopamine antagonists o…
Ethological analysis of morphine withdrawal with different dependence programs in male mice.
2002
Abstract This work was performed to clarify the differences between a long or short development of morphine dependence as well as between a recently installed or a long-term dependence. Morphine withdrawal in rats is a well-characterized phenomenon but this is not so in mice. A study of the principal withdrawal signs have been performed in mice, evaluating their specificity and particular profile of appearance in each type of dependence. Mice were divided into two groups that received increasing doses of morphine every 24 h, three groups that received increasing doses of morphine twice a day for 3 days, and a control group that received saline. Naloxone-induced opiate withdrawal was evaluat…
