title: [Positive modulation of diazepam activity by cortexolone in alcoholic rats].
abstract: It has been shown that glucocorticoid receptor antagonist-cortexolone--increased anxiolytic action of diazepam in alcoholic rats. Neither diazepam (2 mg/kg), nor cortexolone (20 mg/kg) alone influenced voluntary ethanol consumption in alcoholic rats during 14 days of administration, however, combined administration of diazepam and cortexolone diminished ethanol consumption. Receptor and permissive mechanism of gluco- and antiglucocorticoid effect on the action of diazepam are being discussed.
