The effects of GABA and benzodiazepine receptor antagonists on the anti-conflict actions of diazepam or ethanol.

S Liljequist, J A Engel.   

Abstract

The effects of picrotoxin, bicuculline or RO 15-1788 on the anti-conflict action(s) of diazepam or ethanol were studied in rats using a modified Vogel's conflict test procedure. RO 15-1788 antagonized the anti-punishment effects of diazepam (2.5 mg/kg, IP), whereas various doses of bicuculline or picrotoxin did not interfere with diazepam's anti-conflict effect in this test situation. The anti-conflict action of ethanol (2 g/kg, IP) was antagonized by picrotoxin (1.0 mg/kg, IP), whereas both bicuculline and RO 15-1788 were without effect on the increased punishment response produced by ethanol. These data suggest that the anti-conflict properties of ethanol are at least partially mediated through an enhancement of central GABAergic activity.
