title: A critical study on RO-4-1284 antagonism in mice.
abstract: Ro-4-1284 is found to produce ptosis, hypothermia, sedation and miosis in mice, and the antagonsim to these symptoms is investigated. The study reports the differential effects of various pharmacologically distinct classes of compounds. The relevance of this type of experiments to possible antidepressant drug activity is discussed.
