beta-(Tyr9)melanotropin-(9-18) inhibited the extinction of active avoidance behavior. The muscarinic cholinergic blocker atropine did not influence the peptide-induced inhibition, whereas the beta-receptor blocker propranolol decreased it. Furthermore, the peptide increased the ambulation of the animals. Neither the muscarinic blocker nor the beta-blocker had any action on this effect of beta-(Tyr9)melanotropin-(9-18). Atropine markedly decreased the defecation of the animals, and this effect was not influenced by the peptide. The results suggest that the beta-receptors play an important role in the inhibition of extinction induced by the peptide, however, the actions on the open-field activity are mediated by different mechanisms.
β-(酪氨酰9)促黑素-(9-18)抑制主动回避行为的消退。毒蕈碱型胆碱能阻滞剂阿托品不影响该肽诱导的抑制作用,而β受体阻滞剂普萘洛尔则降低这种抑制作用。此外,该肽增加了动物的走动。毒蕈碱阻滞剂和β阻滞剂对β-(酪氨酰9)促黑素-(9-18)的这种作用均无影响。阿托品显著减少动物的排便,且该作用不受该肽的影响。结果表明,β受体在该肽诱导的消退抑制中起重要作用,然而,对旷场活动的作用是由不同机制介导的。
