Jan 01 2007 The present study characterized nicotine intake circadian patterns of food and water intake precipitated somatic signs of withdrawal and extinction of nicotine seeking behavior in rats with 23 h access to intravenous self administration IVSA . Separate groups of animals were allowed access to nicotine IVSA 0.015 n = 9 0.03 n = 14 0.06 n = 16 mg/kg/0.1 ml
Nov 28 2007 Evidence suggests a critical role for dopamine in the reinforcing effects of cocaine in rats and primates. However self administration has been less often studied in the mouse species and to date knock out of individual dopamine related genes in mice has not been reported to reduce the reinforcing effects of cocaine. We studied the dopamine D1 receptor
Aug 01 2006 Intravenous self administration chamber. exceeded their wild type controls in a number of self administered cocaine infusions at the dose of 0.5 mg/kg infusion. Ser130A DARPP 32 mice self administered significantly greater numbers of cocaine infusions than did wild types at both the 0.5 and 0.1 mg/kg doses. neuroadaptations in the
Oct 30 2018 Mice were trained to intravenously self administer heroin under a fixed ratio one schedule Figure 1a see Methods for 12 daily sessions of 6 hr maximum .The dose was decreased from 50 to 25 µg/kg/infusion after six days which led to higher acquisition rates .The animals quickly learned to discriminate between an active and an inactive lever after 6 days of
Can be used in both rats and mice by clipping e.g. amputating no more than 1mm of the distal tail in mice or 2 mm in rats. Produces a sample of variable quality that may be contaminated with tissue products. Sample quality decreases with prolonged bleeding times and milking of the tail. Repeated collections possible.
drug self administration paradigms. RESULTS Trials using the custom catheters and C57 mice yielded effective self administration and optimal intravenous drug delivery after an average of 21.3 ± 0.97 days of retained integrity and patency. After catheterization surgery Supplementary Methods
Jan 04 2022 Furthermore MA self administration males 0.12 mg/infusion females 0.09 mg/infusion 7 days can lead to increased DOI induced HTR in rats . However little is known about the acute effects of clinically relevant lower acute doses of MA 0.1–5 mg/kg on the ontogeny of DOI induced HTR or c fos expression.
Jan 09 2020 Intravenous Surgery and Self Administration Training Surgical implantations of intravenous catheters were done as previously described Cadet et al. 2017 . Briefly we anesthetized the rats with an intraperitoneal injection of ketamine 50 mg/kg and xylazine 5 mg/kg and inserted a polyurethane catheter SAI Infusion Technologies Lake
Apr 01 2001 Background and Purpose We tested the hypothesis that intravenous infusion of bone marrow derived–marrow stromal cells MSCs enter the brain and reduce neurological functional deficits after stroke in rats.. Methods Rats n=32 were subjected to 2 hours of middle cerebral artery occlusion MCAO .Test groups consisted of MCAO alone group 1 n=6
Jun 01 2009 Thus a higher performance of operant nicotine self administration was observed in mutant animals at the dose of 5.2 µg/kg per infusion whereas WT mice showed a better performance at doses of 21.3 p<0.05 comparison of AUC and dose–response curve 42.7 and 85.5 µg/kg per infusion of nicotine. In agreement prodynorphin KO mice earned the
Jul 05 2021 An IV infusion is a controlled administration of medication into your bloodstream over time. The two main methods of IV infusion use either gravity or a pump to send medication into your catheter
Self administration a form of operant conditioning often provides the reward as an intravenous dose of drug. Both the test agent and the addictive drug can be administered remotely through chronically implanted intravenous catheters using swivel and tether systems. Standard self administration systems use threaded c
Mar 01 2006 The total number of articles on intravenous drug self administration in which rats or monkeys served as subjects is approximately 1200 and 560 respectively. Mice have been used for the same purpose in approximately only 80 studies to date as of January 2005 .
Feb 28 2018 Additionally we investigated whether intravenous administration of rat derived DPSCs enhanced neurological outcomes after ischemic stroke. We demonstrated that BDNF combined with DPSCs increased the viability of transplanted cells facilitated the differentiation and neuroprotective effects compared with DPSCs or BDNF alone.
Adult male Sprague Dawley rats Charles River Wilmington MA USA were al lowed to self administer the opiate receptor agonist fentanyl HCL dose = 2.5 g/kg per i.v. infusion fentanyl SA group N = 7 or saline saline SA group N = 5 for 30 consecutive days. Rats were singly housed on a 12 12 h light dark cycle lights on at 10 30 a.m
The athymic nude rat rnu/rnu has been used for a number of years in research into various human tumours involving xenotransplantation. We now report the validation of a continuous intravenous infusion method in nude rats using a tail cuff tether which enables the study of the efficacy of novel anti cancer materials in this mutant strain using intravenous infusion and
Generally a 27 30 gauge needle is used for this injection and maximum volume of administration is 100 and 300 microliters for mice and rats respectively. For intravenous injection via the retro orbital route one should have a fair understanding of the orbital venous structure.
Apr 01 2002 Moreover in intact rats a D2 antagonist increased rates of high dose cocaine self administration whereas D3 and D4 antagonists were ineffective. These results suggest that the D2 receptor but not D3 or D4 receptors is involved in the mechanisms that serve to limit rates of high dose cocaine self administration in mice and rats.
Jul 01 2007 For a 25 g mouse this translates to 0 1 or 2 mg kg −1 h −1 glucose in comparison with rat glucose infusion studies in which rats received 2.8–4 mg kg −1 h −1 glucose 4 26–28 30 31 . Two different infusion protocols were employed for the initial experiment mice received either saline or glucose with BrdU for 4 days.
Arthritic rats self administer fewer infusions of 5 mg/kg morphine intravenously compared with normal animals suggesting that arthritis reduces the reinforcing effects of morphine in rodents.13Administration of indomethacin reduces mechanical sensitivity in arthritic rats and decreases morphine self administration selectively in arthritic rats
Transgenic mice lacking 5 HT1B receptors were used as subjects and compared with wild type mice for the acquisition and maintenance of intravenous IV cocaine self administration.
In rats the jugular vein is another site for IV administration. This requires anesthesia and aseptic preparation of the site. Finally continuous IV or IA administration may be achieved via an osmotic pump. See Osmotic Pumps in Mice and Rats.

May 30 2006 Of interest was whether these strains would also differ in self‐administration of iv ethanol when taste factors presumably do not influence consumption. Mice were trained with either 60 75 or 90 mg/kg per infusion. Mice from both strains acquired nosepoking for all of these doses on an FR‐3 schedule of reinforcement during 2‐hr daily
