Fentanyl administration in infant rats produces long-term behavioral responses.

Considering the importance of studies in animal models that are focused on systems involved in pain mechanisms, this investigation aimed to evaluate the effects of pharmacological treatments on the behavioral responses of younger animals. To this end, we evaluated the effect of an acute dose of fentanyl (FEN) or S(+)-ketamine (KET) at postnatal day 14 (P14) upon behavioral responses in the short- (P14), medium- (P30) and long-term (P60) using the open field (OF), elevated plus-maze (EPM) and formalin tests (FT) and tail-flick latency. Fourteen-day-old male Wistar rats were divided into three groups: control (CT), fentanyl (FEN) and S(+)ketamine (KET) groups for statistical analysis, it was performed two-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni.

Depression scores associate with chronotype and social jetlag in a rural population.

In public health, mood disorders are among the most important mental impairments. Patients with depressive episodes exhibit daily mood variations, abnormal patterns in sleep-wake behavior, and in the daily rhythms of several endocrine-metabolic parameters. Although the relationship between the sleep/circadian processes and mood disorders is poorly understood, clock-related therapies, such as light therapy, sleep deprivation, and rigid sleep schedules, have been shown to be effective treatments.
