The effects of chronic diazepam administration to rats on the central release of [3H]-5-hydroxytryptamine ([3H]-5-HT) and [14C]-gamma-aminobutyric acid ([14C]-GABA, ex vivo) were examined. Chronic (5 and 21 days) administration of diazepam (4 mg kg-1 i.p. daily for 21 days) reduced the K-evoked (20 mM KCl) release of [3H]-5-HT from frontal cortex by approximately 50%. Remarkably, this decrease was still present 1 week after diazepam withdrawal. Chronic diazepam treatment did not significantly affect hippocampal [3H]-5-HT release but after 21 days the K-evoked release of [14C]-GABA was more than doubled and remained elevated 30 h after withdrawal; it returned to control levels after 1 week, and decreased below control levels after 2 weeks. This study indicates that chronic diazepam treatment produces striking changes in transmitter release in rats that persist long after treatment has ceased.
研究了长期给大鼠注射地西泮对[3H]-5-羟色胺([3H]-5-HT)和[14C]-γ-氨基丁酸([14C]-GABA,离体)中枢释放的影响。长期(5天和21天)注射地西泮(每天腹腔注射4mg/kg,共21天)使额叶皮质中钾离子诱发(20mM氯化钾)的[3H]-5-HT释放减少了约50%。值得注意的是,在地西泮停药1周后,这种减少仍然存在。长期地西泮治疗对海马体中[3H]-5-HT的释放没有显著影响,但在21天后,钾离子诱发的[14C]-GABA释放增加了一倍多,停药后30小时仍保持升高;1周后恢复到对照水平,2周后降至对照水平以下。这项研究表明,长期地西泮治疗会使大鼠的神经递质释放产生显著变化,且在治疗停止后仍会持续很长时间。
