Pharmacological Challenges in Rat Behavior

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Pharmacological challenges were delivered in a within-subject Latin square design. All drugs were dissolved in physiological saline and delivered via intraperitoneal injections at a volume of 1 ml/kg of each rat’s body weight, 30 min prior to PR testing. Rats were returned to their home cages for the post injection period of 30 min. The D2/D3 receptor antagonist s(−)raclopride(+)-tartrate salt (Sigma-Aldrich, Dorset, UK) was administered at doses of 0, 0.03 and 0.3 mg/kg. Following a 7-day washout period, d-amphetamine sulphate (Sigma-Aldrich, Dorset, UK) was administered at doses of 0, 0.1 and 1 mg/kg.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
