The effect of methamphetamine on social interaction of adult male rats
Original language description
The effect of psychostimulants on social behavior still remains unclear. Therefore the aim of the present study was to assess the effect of low doses of methamphetamine (MA) on social interaction (SI) in adult male rats. Rats were tested in three environmental conditions: (1) dimly lit, familiar environment, (2) dimly lit, unfamiliar environment and (3) intensely lit, unfamiliar environment considered to be low, middle and high stress, respectively. In each condition different set of animals was used. Rats were always divided into five groups. Control (without injection), saline (with 1 ml/kg saline injection) and three MA groups (doses: 0.5, 1 and 1.5mg/kg). Injections were applied 30 min prior to testing. Always a pair of unfamiliar rats of the sametreatment group was tested. Their behavior was video recorded for 5 min in an open field. Times spent by SI (following, climbing, genital investigation, etc.) and non-social behavior (locomotion, rearing) were analyzed using a two-way ANO
