behavior/neurological
• 50 mg/kg and 60 mg/kg of sodium pentobarbital induces a greater loss of righting reflex (LORR) than in wild-type mice (135% and143%, respectively by dose)
• however, righting response is no different from that of wild-type mice after treatment with ketamin
• NPY-induced sensitization to LORR induced by pentobarbital or ketamine is increased compared to in wild-type mice
• NPY-induced sensitization to LORR induced by pentobarbital greater when NPY is injected into the posterior hypothalamus versus the lateral hypothalamus
|
• mice sleep longer than wild-type mice following treatment with pentobarbital
