Effect of imipramine on the behavior and cerebral 5-HT1A serotonin receptors in mice genetically predisposed to catalepsy

Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Abstract

Acute injection of imipramine to NPK mice hereditary predisposed to pinching catalepsy reduced immobility in the forced swimming test, but had no effect on catalepsy. Chronic treatment with imipramine reduced the severity of catalepsy and functional activity of 5-HT1A serotonin receptors, but did not modify their expression in the hippocampus. NPK mice can be a convenient model for studies of the effects of antidepressant.
