Effect of chronic administration of imipramine on 2A-serotonin receptor mRNA in brain cortex of rats predisposed and resistant to catalepsy
Abstract
Rats selected by predisposition to catalepsy showed decreased level of 2A-serotonin receptor mRNA in the frontal cortex in comparison with Wistar rats (p<0.05). Chronic administration of tricyclic antidepressant imipramine hydrochloride 2-fold increased the content of receptor mRNA in genetically cataleptic rats (p<0.001) and did not change this parameter in Wistar rats. These results prompted us to revise current notion on the mechanisms of chronic effect of imipramine on 2A-serotonin receptors.
