This study investigated the effect of the gamma-aminobutyric acid(B) (GABA(B)) receptor agonist, baclofen, on alcohol deprivation effect (the transient increase in alcohol intake occurring after a period of alcohol abstinence) in Sardinian alcohol-preferring (sP) rats exposed to 4 bottles containing water and 10%, 20%, and 30% (v/v) alcohol, respectively. Acute administration of baclofen (1 mg/kg, i.p.) suppressed both aspects of alcohol deprivation effect: the extra-intake of alcohol and the selection of the highest concentrated alcohol solution. These results suggest that the GABA(B) receptor is part of the neural substrate mediating alcohol deprivation in sP rats.

D001418 Baclofen A GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID derivative that is a specific agonist of GABA-B RECEPTORS. It is used in the treatment of MUSCLE SPASTICITY, especially that due to SPINAL CORD INJURIES. Its therapeutic effects result from actions at spinal and supraspinal sites, generally the reduction of excitatory transmission.
