    Notes: Abstract The purpose of the present study was to investigate the possible generalization to 3-carboxysalsolinol (3C-SAL) in a group of rats trained to discriminate a low dose of ethanol (200 mg/kg IP) from the nondrug condition and in another group trained to discriminate 0.16 mg/kg IP apomorphine (AP) from the nondrug condition using a drug discrimination paradigm. In test sessions, ED50 for ethanol was 52.0 mg/kg and ED50 for AP was 0.01 mg/kg. In the ethanol-trained rats, 1.8 mg/kg 3C-SAL produced drug responses. In the AP-trained rats, 200 mg/kg ethanol produced drug responses whereas 1.8 mg/kg 3C-SAL produced only a partial drug response. The results are in harmony with the hypothesis that salsolinol in the central nervous system of the rat may be responsible for the discriminability of ethanol. The possible involvement of dopaminergic systems is discussed.

    Notes: Abstract Rats were trained to enter one arm of a T-maze after the subcutaneous administration of 0.4 mg/kg and to enter the opposite arm following the injection of an equal volume of saline. Administration of 0.4 mg/kg nicotine isomethonium iodide hydroiodide, 0.4–10.0 mg/kg lobeline sulfate, 2.0 and 4.0 mg/kg d-amphetamine sulfate and 0.25–2.0 mg/kg arecoline hydrobromide produced responses which resembled the established saline effect. Pretreatment with 10.0 mg/kg lobeline had no significant effect on the nicotine-cued response. The inability of these structurally and/or functionally similar drugs to produce a nicotine-like discriminative effect is discussed.

    Increased drug sensitivity in the drug discrimination procedure afforded by drug versus drug training (1990)

    Notes: Abstract Rats were trained to discriminate norfenfluramine (NF) 1.4 mg/kg from its vehicle or amphetamine (AMPH) 0.8 mg/kg or pentobarbital (PB) 6.0 mg/kg in order to determine the role that drug combination training plays in the rate of learning and sensitivity to lower drug doses. The results suggest that drug versus drug training can increase the rate of drug discrimination learning for some drugs that are learned slowly when trained in a drug versus vehicle training procedure, whereas drug versus drug training does not increase the rate of learning for other drugs that are learned rapidly. Drug versus drug training does, however, appear to increase the level of stimulus control of the training drug for all drugs examined in this study.

    Effect of apomorphine and nigrostriatal lesions on aggression and striatal dopamine turnover during morphine withdrawal: Evidence for dopaminergic supersensitivity in protracted abstinence (1974)

    Notes: Abstract Reliable aggression was seen in rats which were grouped 30 days after undergoing continuous withdrawal from morphine. This withdrawal aggression, associated with long-lasting effects of morphine dependence, was blocked by morphine or lesions of the nigrostriatal bundle, but not by lesions of the median forebrain bundle. When the nigrostriatal lesioned rats were treated with a small dose of apomorphine, the aggression was reinstated. Apomorphine reduced the turnover of dopamine in the 30-day withdrawn rats at doses which were ineffective in similarly housed non-dependent rats. These results suggest that animals undergoing protracted morphine abstinence show aggression due to a latent dopaminergic supersensitivity, similar to that previously reported during acute narcotic withdrawal.

    Dopaminergic mediation of the interoceptive cue produced by d-amphetamine in rats (1975)

    Notes: Abstract After rats were trained to differentiate between the effects of d-amphetamine and saline in a state-dependent task, pretreatment with the tyrosine hydroxylase inhibitor, α-methyl-p-tyrosine, significantly decreased amphetamine discrimination. Pretreatment with the dopamine-Β-hydroxylase inhibitor, disulfiram, or with the tryptophan hydroxylase inhibitor, p-chloro-phenylalanine, was observed to have no effect on the rats' ability to discriminate d-amphetamine. Administration of haloperidol, a selective dopamine receptor blocker, completely abolished the amphetamine discrimination, whereas α- and Β-adrenergic receptor blockade had no effect. Apomorphine, a dopamine receptor stimulant, produced amphetamine-like responses and this was, likewise, abolished by pretreatment with haloperidol. These data suggest that dopaminergic systems mediate the interoceptive cue produced by d-amphetamine in rats, and these results are discussed in relation to possible dopamine mediation of amphetamine psychosis and paranoid schizophrenia.

    Rats become acutely tolerant to cathine after amphetamine or cathinone administration (1990)

    Notes: Abstract The drug discrimination paradigm was used to evaluate in rats the ability of the discriminate response to either 0.8 mg/kgd-amphetamine or 0.8 mg/kgl-cathinone to generalize to 2.4–6.0 mg/kg of the active cathinone metabolited-norpseudoephedrine, also known as cathine. When tested 24 h after vehicle administration, cathine generalized in a dose-related fashion in rats (n=6) trained with cathinone (ED50=3.03 mg/kg) and in rats (n=8) trained with amphetamine (ED50=2.93 mg/kg). In contrast, when cathine was tested 24 h after the administration of either amphetamine or cathinone, it produced significantly decreased discriminative performance. The possibility that this acute tolerance may have been produced by release, and subsequent depletion, of brain dopamine was tested by pretreating rats with the dopamine release inhibitor CGS 10746B. When CGS 10746B was administered prior to cathinone it significantly decreased cathinone discrimination. In addition, acute tolerance to cathine at 24 h after vehicle-cathinone co-administration was reversed when cathine was tested 24 h after CGS 10746B-cathinone co-administration. The results suggest that cathinone-produced discriminative stimulus, as well as the acute tolerance to cathine, may be dopaminergically mediated.

    Notes: Abstract Aggression, which is normally seen during withdrawal from narcotics, could not be produced in morphine-dependent rats by the administration of naloxone at doses which cause other signs of withdrawal. Apomorphine injected instead of naloxone was capable of producing aggression, without other withdrawal signs. Naturally occurring aggression (72-hr withdrawal) was enhanced by apomorphine and unaffected by naloxone.

    Notes: This study used acrylic resin as an intravascular marker to demonstrate functional myocardial capillaries after fixation by perfusion. Eight rat hearts were excised and allowed to function as isolated organs perfused with oxygenated Krebs-Henseleit buffer (37o 10 kPa) for 10 min. Four were fixed by perfusion (4 min) with 2.5% glutaraldehyde at the same temperature and pressure and then immersion fixed (24 hr). The other four hearts were perfused with 0.2% procaine HCl for 30 sec just prior to similar fixation. Polymerizing low viscosity acrylic resin was injected at 10 kPa pressure into the fixed vascular beds and allowed to cure, then transmural blocks of left ventricular myocardium were prepared for scanning electron microscopy. Total initial coronary flow of fixative after procaine treatment was significantly increased, while in untreated hearts the initial fixative flow rate was closely similar to that of oxygenated buffer. The pattern of capillary perfusion was assessed, and the percentage of capillary profiles filled by acrylic resin were calculated. Following procaine treatment, 95.2% of capillaries appeared functional, whereas without procaine arrest, only 62.0% of capillaries allowed the passage of resin. This study indicates that perfusion fixation with glutaraldehyde stabilizes myocardial structure so that the proportion of functional capillary pathways remains closely similar to that in the beating heart and so that such functional capillaries can be identified in morphological preparations by using a low viscosity intraluminal resin marker.

    The H+/site ratio of mitochondrial electron transport (1976)

    Notes: The number of H+ ejected during passage of 2e- through each energy-conserving site of the mitochondrial respiratory chain (the H+/site ratio) was measured in three ways. In each case transmembrane movements of endogenous phosphate were minimized. (1) Measurement of the uptake of weak acids during loading of mitochondria with Ca2+ demonstrated that 2.0 weak acid anions were accumulated per Ca2+ ion. Since 1.7 to 2.0 Ca2+ ions were taken up per site, these data correspond to an H+/site ratio of 3.5 to 4.0. (2) More direct measurement of H+ ejection using the oxygen pulse technique demonstrated that the H+/site ratio was 3.0. In these experiments phosphate movements were prevented by addition of N-ethylmaleimide to inhibit phosphate-hydroxide antiport, by washing the mitochondria to remove endogenous phosphate, or by working at 5°C to reduce the rate of phosphate transport. When phosphate movements were allowed, H+/site ratios of 2.0 were observed. (3) Measurement of the initial steady rates of oxygen consumption and H+ ejection following addition of substrate to aerobic, substrate-limited mitochondria yielded H+/site ratios of 2.0, which were elevated to 4.0 when phosphate transport was prevented as described above.Previous determinations of the H+/site ratio were thus underestimates due to the unrecognized movements of endogenous phosphate; our results show that the H+/site ratio is at least 3.0 and may be as high as 4.0.

    Abnormal regulation of de novo purine synthesis and purine salvage in a cultured mouse T-cell lymphoma mutant partially deficient in adenylosuccinate synthetase (1979)

    Notes: The isolation and characterization of a mutant murine T-cell lymphoma (S49) with altered purine metabolism is described. This mutant, AU-100, was isolated from a mutagenized populatio of S49 cells by virtue of its resistance to 0.1 mM 6-azauridine in semisolid agarose. The AU-100 cells are resistant to adenosine mediated cytotoxicity but are extraordinarily sensitive to killing by guanosine.High performance liquid chromatography of AU-100 cells extracts has demonstrated that intracellular levels of GTP, IMP, and GMP are all elevated about 3-fold over those levels found in wild type cells. The AU-100 cells also contain an elevated intracellular level of pyrophosphoribosylphosphate (PPriboseP), which as in wild type cells is diminished by incubation of AU-100 cells with adenosine. However AU-100 cells synthesize purines de novo at a rate less than 35% of that found in wild type cells.In other growth rate experiments, the AU-100 cell line was shown to be resistant to 6-thioguanine and 6-mercaptopurine. Levels of hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRTase) measured in AU-100 cell extracts, however, are 50-66% greater than those levels of HGPRTase found in wild type cell extracts. Nevertheless this mutant S49 cell line cannot efficiently incorporate labeled hypoxanthine into nucleotides since the salvage enzyme HGPRTase is inhibited in vivo.The AU-100 cell line was found to be 80% deficient in adenylosuccinate synthetase, but these cells are not auxotrophic for adenosine or other purines. The significant alterations in the control of purine de novo and salvage metabolism caused by the defect in adenylosuccinate synthetase are mediated by the resulting increased levels of guanosine necleotides.
