pubmed:abstractText |
Aggressive behavior in the footshock induced fighting test (FIFT) was studied after treatment with benzodiazepines (diazepam, nitrazepam, temazepam, medazepam) given alone or in combination with beta-adrenoreceptor antagonists (propranolol, oxprenolol, practolol). With the combinations of those drugs it was found that diazepam (0.5 mg/kg) with propranolol, oxprenolol, and practolol (20 mg/kg); nitrazepam (0.25 mg/kg) with propranolol (10 mg/kg) and nitrazepam (0.1 mg/kg) with practolol (20 mg/kg); temazepam (0.5 mg/kg) with propranolol (10 mg/kg) and temazepam (1 mg/kg) with oxprenolol and practolol (20 mg/kg); medazepam (1.5 mg/kg) with propranolol (10.mg/kg) and medazepam (1 mg/kg) with practolol (20 mg/kg) produced a statistically significant decrease in frequency of fighting episodes in mice as compared with benzodiazepines alone and with control animals. The results demonstrate that beta-adrenoreceptor antagonists potentiate the antiaggressive action of benzodiazepines when given in doses which by themselves do not suppress aggression.
