The behavioral and neurochemical effects of amitriptyline (10 mg/kg, i.p.) and fluoxetine (20 mg/kg, i.p.) after single and chronic administration in the setting of unpredictable mild stress in outbred ICR (CD-1) mice were studied. After a 28-day exposure to stress, we observed an increase in depressive reaction in a forced swim test in mice, as well as reduced hippocampal levels of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) and an increased hypothalamic level of noradrenaline (NA). Single and chronic administration of amitriptyline and fluoxetine shortened the immobility period and increased the time corresponding to active swimming in the forced swim test. The antidepressant-like effect of fluoxetine - but not of amitriptyline - after a single injection coincided with an increase in the 5-HT turnover in the hippocampus. Chronic administration of the antidepressants increased the hypothalamic levels of NA. Thus, the antidepressant- like effect of amitriptyline and fluoxetine may result from an enhancement of the stress-dependent adaptive mechanisms depleted by chronic stress.

The behavioral and neurochemical aspects of the interaction between antidepressants and unpredictable chronic mild stress
