To determine whether cocaine-induced deficits in serotonergic function are long-lasting, the neuroendocrine responses to the serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) releaser, p-chloroamphetamine were evaluated 1-8 weeks subsequent to 7 days of cocaine exposure (15 mg/kg b.i.d.). In cocaine-pretreated rats, the p-chloroamphetamine-induced elevations of prolactin and renin secretion were significantly reduced for 8 and 4 weeks, respectively. In contrast, the p-chloroamphetamine-induced elevation of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) secretion was at control values 1 week after cocaine exposure. The data suggest that some cocaine-induced deficits in serotonergic function are long-lasting.
为了确定可卡因引起的血清素能功能缺陷是否持久,在暴露于可卡因(15毫克/千克,每日两次)7天后的1至8周,评估了对血清素(5-羟色胺,5-HT)释放剂对氯苯丙胺的神经内分泌反应。在经可卡因预处理的大鼠中,对氯苯丙胺引起的催乳素和肾素分泌升高分别在8周和4周时显著降低。相比之下,对氯苯丙胺引起的促肾上腺皮质激素(ACTH)分泌升高在可卡因暴露后1周时处于对照值。数据表明,一些可卡因引起的血清素能功能缺陷是持久的。
