Chronic handling modifies the anxiolytic effect of diazepam in the elevated plus-maze.

R R Brett1, J A Pratt.   

Abstract

Rats treated for 3 days with diazepam demonstrated a clear anxiolytic action of the drug as assessed in the elevated plus-maze. However, in a chronic experiment, in which all rats were handled for 28 days, no anxiolytic effect of diazepam could be shown either in rats treated for 3 days or in those treated for 28 days. These results suggest that there is an interaction between handling and the anxiolytic effect of diazepam.
