The aim of the present work was to perform a comparative analysis of 5-HT(1A)- and 5-HT(2A/2C)-receptors blockade effects on depression-like behavior of the adult ovariectomized (OVX) female offspring at estrogen deficiency delivered from their prenatally stressed mothers. The adult prenatally stressed OVX female offspring were chronically (during 14 days) treated by 5-HT(1A)-receptors antagonist--NAN-190 (0.1 mg/kg, s.

The present work was aimed at a comparative estimation of the effect of stimulation of 5-HTIA and 5-HT(2B/2C) receptors on depression-like behavior in adult ovariectomized (estrogen-deficient) female offspring from prenatally stressed (PS) mothers. PS ovariectomized female rats were treated for 14 days of with the vehicle, a low dose of 17beta-estradiol (5.0 microg/rat, s.

The present study evaluated the ability of 17beta-estradiol to induce anxiolytic- and antidepressant-like action in adult ovariectomized female offspring of dams that were restrained under lights for 1 h on gestational days 15-19. There were no differences in behavioral profile of ovariectomized prenatal stressed and control female rats. Injections of 17beta-estradiol (0.

Anxious-depressive state was studied in experimental "stress-restress" model of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) using adult rat males. Rat males were born by control females and whose mothers were under 60-minute immobilization stress since 15 until 19 days of pregnancy. Then rats were exposed to a single session of prolonged stress (restraint followed by a forced swim and exposure to ether vapors) and restressed 7 days later.

We studied the effect of preliminary three-fold administration of dehydroepiandrosterone-sulphate (DHEA-S) on behavioral disturbance, induced by water-immobilization stress in high- and low-anxiety active rats. Active rats were selected from Wistar rats on the basis of T-maze testing. Active rats were then divided into the groups with high and low anxiety level after testing in elevated plus maze.
