The behavioral effect of salbutamol (a beta-adrenergic receptor stimulant) on reserpine- and propranolol-treated rats.
Reserpine- and propranolol-treated rats were given salbutamol, a beta-adrenergic stimulant, intra-peritoneally in an open control study. The results suggest that salbutamol has a therapeutic effect on the depressive behavior of reserpine- and propranolol-treated rats.
