Sixty-one weeks after 48 weeks of treatment with fluphenazine decanoate or placebo, 37 socially living Cebus apella monkeys were evaluated for differences in dopaminergic sensitivity by exposure to 0.75 mg/kg, i.m. of amphetamine (AMPH) (indirect agonist) and apomorphine (APOM) (direct agonist). The fluphenazine-treated animals differed (p < or = 0.05) from control animals on some hourly measures of composite behavioral variables (CBVs). Animals exposed to fluphenazine showed a greater decrease in the aggressiveness CBV and a smaller decrease in self- and environment-directed behaviors than placebo animals. CBVs for normal locomotion and directs affiliation showed no significant differences. The fluphenazine-treated group showed greater agonist induction of stereotypic behavior (p < or = 0.01), and larger decreases in prolactin response to AMPH (p < or = 0.05). Our findings indicate that following extended treatment with an antipsychotic there is increased sensitivity to dopamine, as evidenced by stereotypies and possibly hypophyseal responsiveness.
在用癸酸氟奋乃静或安慰剂治疗48周后的61周,对37只群居的僧帽猴进行评估,通过肌肉注射0.75毫克/千克的苯丙胺(AMPH)(间接激动剂)和阿扑吗啡(APOM)(直接激动剂)来检测多巴胺能敏感性的差异。在一些复合行为变量(CBV)的每小时测量指标上,接受氟奋乃静治疗的动物与对照动物存在差异(p≤0.05)。与接受安慰剂的动物相比,接受氟奋乃静治疗的动物在攻击性行为CBV上的下降幅度更大,而在自我导向和环境导向行为上的下降幅度更小。正常运动和直接社交行为的CBV没有显著差异。接受氟奋乃静治疗的组表现出更强的激动剂诱导的刻板行为(p≤0.01),并且对AMPH的催乳素反应下降幅度更大(p≤0.05)。我们的研究结果表明,长期使用抗精神病药物治疗后,对多巴胺的敏感性增加,表现为刻板行为以及可能的垂体反应性。
