Abstract:
:Rats chronically treated with increasing daily doses of delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol (delta 9-THC) for up to 5 or 10 days exhibit a withdrawal-like behavioural response when challenged with clomipramine, a potent inhibitor of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) reuptake, at the time when the next injection of delta 9-THC was due. To determine whether this response is indeed a withdrawal syndrome, different groups of rats were injected IV twice daily for up to 5 days with either delta 9-THC, in doses increasing from 2-6 mg/kg, or polyvinyl-pyrrolidone (PVP), the vehicle in which delta 9-THC was suspended. On day 6, an acute dose of 6 mg/kg delta 9-THC was given 30 min before IP clomipramine (15 mg/kg). The total behavioural response, which included writhing, backward kicking, jumping, head shaking, and paw tremor, was attenuated in rats chronically treated with delta 9-THC, but not in rats which received an acute dose of PVP. These results lend further evidence to our hypothesis that chronically administered delta 9-THC produces a state of physical dependence in the rat.
