title: [The participation of CCK-8-ergic mechanisms in the regulation of emotional behavior in rodents].
abstract: Effects of CCK-8 receptor agonists caerulein and pentagastrin and CCK-8 receptor antagonist proglumide on exploratory and locomotor activity of mice and rats were studied. Systemic administration of caerulein (500 ng/kg 1 mcg/kg) decreased significantly the exploratory activity of mice in elevated plus-maze. This anxiogenic-like action of caerulein was attenuated by acute pretreatment with proglumide (1 and 15 mg/kg) but not with diazepam (up to 0.75 mg/kg). Proglumide slightly increased the exploratory activity of rats in plus-maze; on the other hand, caerulein and pentagastrin potently decreased the measures of exploration in this test. Caerulein (10-100 mcg/kg) and proglumide (1 and 15 mg/kg) inhibited 3H-pentagastrin binding in mice brain in in vivo experiments. The data obtained indicate that CCK-8-ergic mechanisms in brain play an important role in the generation of anxiety states in rodents.
