Journal ArticleDOI
Anticonvulsive Effect of Swim Stress in Mice
TL;DR: The results confirmed an anticonvulsant effect of swim stress against convulsions produced by GABA-related convulsants, but they do not support the hypothesis suggesting the involvement of glucocorticoids or neurosteroids in this effect.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sex differences in the response of rats to drugs affecting GABAergic transmission
TL;DR: The administration of diazepam 1.0 mg/kg decreased the level of plasma corticosterone in female but not in male Wistar rats, and picrotoxin, another drug affecting GABAergic transmission, brought about an increase of plasma cortisol in both sexes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sex related differences in the response of mice, rats and cats to administration of picrotoxin
TL;DR: The existence of sex related differences in the response of mice, rats and cats to administration of picrotoxin might have its origin in the dimorphisms of the GABA system in these animal species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Swim stress alters the behavioural response of mice to GABA-related and some GABA-unrelated convulsants.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that acute swim stress lowers the convulsive potency of GABA-related and some GABA-unrelated convulsants, and Repeatedly stressed animals develop tolerance to anticonvulsive effect of swim stress.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of diazepam on plasma corticosterone levels.
Danka Peričić,N Lakić,Hari Manev +2 more
TL;DR: In light of the numerous but rather conflicting reports on the action of benzodiazepines upon the hypothalamo-hypophyseal-adrenal (HHA) axis activity, the effect of different doses of diazepam administered before decapitation on plasma corticosterone level was studied in rats.
