Popis: — In this study we have investigated the effects of melanocortins (group analogs of neuropeptides) on the psychoemotional state of rats under conditions of experimental social stress. The study was carried out on male rats which were injected intraperitoneally for 20 days with the neuropeptide drugs Semax and ACTH(6-9)-ProGly-Pro at a dose of 100 μg/kg/day starting from the 1st day of stress exposure. The psychoemotional state of the animals was evaluated by means of the behavioral test of elevated cruciform maze. It was found that intraperitoneal administration of neuropeptides (Semax, ACTH(6-9)- Pro-Gly-Pro) helps to reduce high anxiety levels in animals both with aggressive and submissive types of behavior under conditions of experimental social stress via their psychomodulatory effects.
