title: [The influence of epiphysectomy and melatonin on the antidepressive effect in disordered function of the beta-adrenergic mechanisms in rats].
abstract: After chronic administration of beta-adrenoblocker propranolol (1 mg/kg, 14 days) reorganization of time course of forced swimming with decrease of rhythmical index of depression was observed. Pinealectomy slightly attenuated, and melatonin (1 mg/kg) potentiated this effect. As proposed, antidepressive properties of beta-adrenoblockade primarily are not connected with pharmacological denervation of the pineal gland.
