title: Behavioral effects of dibutyryl cyclic 3'5'AMP and biogenic amines in rats.
abstract: White male Wistar rats were injected intraventricularly with 200 mug of dibutyryl cyclic 3'5'AMP (DAMP. 30 min later part of animals was injected intraventricularly with 10 mug of dopamine (DA), 10 mug of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) or 50 mug of acetylcholine (Ach). Immediately after injection of the amines the time of walking, convulsions, immobility and number of jumps during 10 min periods of observation was measured. DAMP induced excitation of animals expressed by convulsions, jumping and short period of immobility. All studied biogenic amines inhibited convulsions and caused periodically stereotypical behavior. 5-HT and Ach increased the time of immobility in animals injected with DAMP. DA increased the number of jumping. These results indicate the interaction between DAMP and DA, 5-HT and Ach on behavioral phenomena in rats.
