The effect of para-chlorophenylalanine on spontaneous locomotor activity in the rat

Neuropharmacology, 1971
Abstract The effect of p-chlorophenylalanine (p-CPA), a depletor of serotonin, on spontaneous locomotor activity was investigated in rats. It was found that p-CPA induced large and reproducible increases in locomotor activity in a variety of situations. This hyperactivity could be reversed by 5-hydroxytryptophan, a precursor of serotonin.

Opiate control of spontaneous locomotor activity in a urodele amphibian

Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior, 1989
An intraperitoneal injection of the preferential opiate receptor agonist (+/-) bremazocine HCl given to male rough-skinned newts acutely and dose-dependently reduced their spontaneous locomotor activity. Inversely, and contrary to the situation generally observed in other vertebrates, administration of the opiate receptor antagonist naloxone HCl dose ...

Spontaneous Locomotor Activity of Drosophila Melanogaster Flies at Various Gravity Levels (0 g, 1 g, 1.8 g) During Parabolic Flights

Behavioural Processes, 1995
The spontaneous locomotor activity of young, middle-aged and old Drosophila melanogaster of both sexes has been videorecorded during three parabolic flights separated by one-day intervals. Fast shifts between 0 g, 1 g and 1.8 g phases are obtained during

Brain Histamine: Plasma Corticosterone, Spontaneous Locomotor Activity and Temperature

Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior, 1980
Hypothalamic histamine exhibited circadian fluctuations in male Sprague-Dawley rats; low values were found during the dark period when spontaneous locomotor activity (S.L.A.) and temperature were elevated. A relatively high hypothalamic histamine level was observed during the early period of the light cycle and was associated with decreased S.L.A.

Naltrexone fails to suppress spontaneous locomotor activity in hamsters

Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior, 1985
The increased spontaneous locomotor activity (SLMA) of rats exposed to a novel environment is decreased by opiate antagonists. In the present study, naltrexone (1.0-40 mg/kg) failed to reduce the SLMA of hamsters exposed to the novel environment of activity cages.

Righting reflexes and spontaneous locomotor activity during hypothermia

Cryobiology, 1969
Summary Righting reflexes were tested, and spontaneous locomotor activity was measured in unanesthetized small mammals during the induction of progressive hypothermia. The body-on-body-righting reflex was lost by the guinea pig at a body temperature of 29.2 ± 0.8 (S.

Hypoxia and Spontaneous Locomotor Activity in the Rat

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1967
Three experiments investigated the effects of hypoxia on activity wheel running in male Sprague-Dawley rats. Ss were exposed to atmospheres containing 21% O 2 (normoxia), 16% O 2 , 12% O 2 , and 8% O

Effects of Chlorogenic Acid and Its Metabolites on Spontaneous Locomotor Activity in Mice. [PDF]

Bioscience, Biotechnology and Biochemistry, 2006
Chlorogenic acid possessed a weak caffeine-like psychostimulant property when assessed for its effect on spontaneous locomotor activity in mice. In the evaluation of the effects for the major metabolites of chlorogenic acid which were detected upon incubation with rat feces and/or excreted in urine after oral administration to rats, caffeic and m ...

The effects of tricyclic and ‘atypical’ antidepressants on spontaneous locomotor activity in rodents

Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 1986
With the exception of amineptin, buproprion and nomifensine all tricyclic and 'atypical' antidepressants have been reported to reduce spontaneous motor activity in rodents, after both acute and chronic administration. However, with the diversity of chemical actions of these drugs it is unlikely that a single neurochemical mechanism is underlying this ...

Effects of atomoxetine on locomotor activity and impulsivity in the spontaneously hypertensive rat

Behavioural Brain Research, 2013
Atomoxetine (ATX) is a commonly used non-stimulant treatment for Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It primarily acts to increase noradrenalin levels; however, at higher doses it can increase dopamine levels. To date there has been no investigations into the effects of orally-administered ATX in the most commonly used model of ADHD, the ...
