title: [Species differences in the behavioral effects of cerulein--an agonist of the receptors of the octapeptide cholecystokinin--in white mice and rats].
abstract: It has been shown in the behavioural experiments that combined pretreatment with haloperidol (0.25 mg/kg) and caerulein (40 micrograms/kg), and to a lesser extent pretreatment with caerulein alone caused long-term reversal of amphetamine (2 mg/kg) induced hyperexcitability in rats. Administration of proglumide (50 mg/kg), an antagonist of CCK-8 receptors, did not reverse long-term antiamphetamine effect of caerulein. In mice pretreatment with caerulein (50 and 100 micrograms/kg) alone or in combination with haloperidol (0.25 mg/kg) caused hypersensitivity to the behavioural effect of amphetamine (3 mg/kg). Intraventricular (I ng), but not systemic (100-500 micrograms/kg) administration of caerulein selectively antagonized seizures in mice induced by intraventricular administration of quinolinic acid (5 micrograms) and N-methyl-D-aspartate (0.2 microgram). Pretreatment with proglumide (50 mg/kg) reversed the anticonvulsive effect of caerulein in mice. In rats, caerulein failed to affect the seizures caused by intraventricular administration of quinolinic acid. The results of the present study demonstrate the existence of obvious interspecies differences in the behavioural effects of caerulein, the agonist of CCK-8 receptors, in mice and rats.
