Abstract:
:Cocaine abuse during adolescence represents a significant health risk due to the potential for both acute and long-term negative physical and psychological sequelae, including increased aggressive behavior. This study examined the effect of adolescent cocaine treatment on flank marking (i.e., a stereotypic motor behavior that is part of the response pattern of offensive aggression) in female and male Syrian hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus). Adolescent cocaine treatment activated flank marking in female hamsters when animals were measured upon return to their home cage immediately following drug treatment. Sex differences were observed in cocaine-induced flank marking, as males failed to flank mark when returned to the home cage. In females, the behavioral response was most marked on Day 11 of cocaine treatment in all doses tested. Yet, animals treated with low-dose cocaine (0.5 mg/kg/day) showed the most significant increase in flank marking on and from Day 11 forward as compared to medium- and high-dose cocaine-treated animals and controls. In addition, the response of cocaine-treated animals was vigorous and nearly immediate, as >75% of the flank marks scored were performed within the first 2 min of the behavioral test in >85% of animals examined. Measures of locomotion showed that cocaine had stimulatory effects on motor activity in adolescent female hamsters at all doses tested. Cocaine-treated animals did not differ in body weight gain from controls, suggesting no dramatic physiological effects of adolescent cocaine exposure on body growth at the doses tested.
