The effect of selective lesioning of brain catecholamine-containing neurons on the activity of various anorectics in thr rat. 1975

R Samanin, and S Bernasconi, and S Garattini

An intraventricular injection of 6-hydroxydopamine to rats pretreated with pargyline, a procedure which produces a marked decrease of brain catecholamines without significant changes in the serotonin levels, significantly antagonizes the anorectic effect of amphetamine, phentermine, mazindol and diethylpropion, while the reduction of food intake induced by other drugs such as fenfluramine, p-chloroamphetamine, SE 780 and SKF 1-39728 is not significantly affected. The data suggest an involvement of brain catecholamines in the anorectic effect of amphetamine, phentermine, mazindol and diethylpropion whereas other mechanisms appear to be involved in the activity of the other anorectics studied.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
D001923 Brain Chemistry Changes in the amounts of various chemicals (neurotransmitters, receptors, enzymes, and other metabolites) specific to the area of the central nervous system contained within the head. These are monitored over time, during sensory stimulation, or under different disease states. Chemistry, Brain,Brain Chemistries,Chemistries, Brain
