Journal ArticleDOI
Invariance of the density of dopamine uptake sites and dopamine metabolism in the rat brain after a chronic treatment with the dopamine uptake inhibitor GBR 12783.
TL;DR: A chronic treatment with the dopamine uptake inhibitor GBR 12783 with no change in this binding relatively to control animals in regions with high dopamine contents and did not modify the levels of dopamine (DA) and metabolites (HVA, DOPAC) both in the striatum and the nucleus accumbens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Importance de la pharmacologie in vivo dans la recherche fondamentale sur les médicaments psychotropes et leurs cibles biologiques
TL;DR: Developments in preclinical studies performed in animals with invalidation of the gene coding for adenosine A2A receptors, the concentration, by controlled breeding in mice, of a phenotype corresponding to that of depression, and theoretical or explanatory models that aim to elucidate the mechanism of action of agents producing psychotropic effects are illustrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis and Preliminary Study of the Activity of Thiophene Analogues of Pyrovalerone on the Neuronal Uptake of the Monoamines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanism of the hypothermic effect of MPP+ administered centrally in mice
TL;DR: It is concluded that MPP+ decreases body temperature, at least in part, by acting as an indirect NE agonist, which stimulates alpha2 adrenoreceptors.
Journal ArticleDOI
À propos d’un modèle animal de la dépression
TL;DR: In this article, a model built up by selective breeding of mice with strikingly different responses in the tail suspension test, a stress paradigm aimed at screening potential antidepressants was presented, and the helpless line of mice may provide an opportunity to approach genes influencing susceptibility to depression and to investigate neurophysiological and neurochemical substrates underlying antidepressant effects.
