Effects of swim stress on mRNA and protein levels of steroid 5α-reductase isozymes in prefrontal cortex of adult male rats
2008, Neurochemistry InternationalPrenatal exposure to diazepam and alprazolam, but not to zolpidem, affects behavioural stress reactivity in handling-naïve and handling-habituated adult male rat progeny
2002, Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :Alprazolam (ALP) is a triazolobenzodiazepine with high affinity for specific GABA/BDZ R subtypes [4,27]; it produces anxiolytic, antipanic, antidepressant and weak sedative effects [16,20,50,58,59]. ZOLP is an imidazopyridine, unrelated to benzodiazepines, which shows a high selectivity and affinity for the BDZ R subtype ω1 [2,3,8,28,41], strong sedative, and weak anxiolytic effects [19,42,51,52,66]. In rats, prenatal exposure to benzodiazepines during the ontogenic development of the brain results in a decrease in maturation and in a down-regulation of GABA/BDZ Rs [10,26,38,43,46].
