Popis: The effect of tail shock (ten, 2.0 mA/0.15 s shocks) on amphetamine-induced dopaminergic toxicity in adult, male BALB/c mice was assessed. Fifteen minutes following a single shock session, mice received amphetamine (50-mg/kg) or saline as follows: Shock/Saline; NoShock/Saline; Shock/Amphetamine; No Shock/Amphetamine. Amphetamine caused a 60% dopamine depletion in the No Shock/Amphetamine group. Tail shock provided neuroprotection against amphetamine-induced dopamine depletion, an effect likely related to the stress response.
