Effect of low alcohol dose on behavioral "despair" in rats neonatally treated with antidepressant drugs

Rat pups were treated with monoamine uptake inhibiting antidepressant drugs, desipramine, imipramine or nomifensine (5 mg/kg) during the second and third postnatal weeks, and their later behavioral "despair," measured by Porsolt's swim test, was examined. At the age of two months, the...

At the age of two months, the desipramine-treated rats showed lengthened immobility in the swim test, and thus probably increased behavioral "despair."
