Increased DOI-Induced Wet-Dog Shakes in Adrenocorticotropic Hormone–Treated Rats Are Not Affected by Chronic Imipramine Treatment: Possible Involvement of Enhanced 5-HT2A–Receptor Expression in the Frontal Cortex

We examined the influence of imipramine, a traditional tricyclic antidepressant, on the binding to serotonin (5-HT)2receptors and levels of 5-HT2A–receptor mRNA in the frontal cortex of rats treated with adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). Chronic treatment with ACTH significantly increased the bind...
