Psychiatry related information on Grooming

 

High impact information on Grooming

  • One hour after the light was switched on, physiological saline, (+)-amphetamine 1 mg/kg, and H 77/77 5 mg/kg were injected s.c.; the number of groomings was counted 1-2 h after the treatments [2].
  • The effects of intracerebroventricular injections of 8-OH-DPAT (a 5-HT1A agonist; 3, 15 or 30 nmol) or GR46611 (a 5-HT1B/1D agonist; 3, 15 or 30 nmol) on feeding, drinking, preening and sleep-like behaviors were investigated in free-feeding (FF) pigeons [3].
  • PGE(2) at 0.1, 1.0 and 3.2 microg (per animal; i.c.v.) given prior to SR141716A (10 mg/kg, i.p.) dose-dependently decreased the number of forepaw licking, facial preening, grooming and forepaw tremor episodes [4].
  • Chicks given NPY or PYY also spent significantly less time standing while those given PYY spent significantly less time preening compared to controls [5].
  • Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) injected i.p. in doses of 5 mg/kg and higher had a strong locomotor stimulant action with development of frequent rearing, mild sniffing, grooming, preening and other excitatory behaviours [6].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Grooming

  • Effects on environmentally induced oral stereotypies (object pecking and drinker-directed activity) and other behavior (sitting, standing, pacing, preening), of preferential antagonists and agonists of central 5-HT and GABA receptor subtypes, were examined in individually caged broiler breeder fowls subjected to chronic food restriction [7].
  • The sedation, increased yawning, and decreased preening induced by the two DA agonists were reversed by the D2-selective antagonist, sulpiride [8].
  • With 5-HT agonists, 8-OH-DPAT (5-HT1A) suppressed the two oral stereotypies and increased standing (all 1.0 mg/kg) and preening (0.2 mg/kg), alpha-methylserotonin (5-HT2) suppressed the oral stereotypies and increased sitting (all 1.0 mg/kg), and m-CPBG (5-HT3) suppressed drinker-directed activity (1.0 mg/kg) [7].
  • Effects on feeding, drinking, and preening were similar after AVT injection into the lateral ventricles, but the central effects were not blocked by dPTyr(Me)AVP, a selective AVT receptor blocker [9].
  • The GABA antagonists (bicuculline (GABAA), 5-aminovaleric acid (GABAB) had no effect, and of the GABA agonists [muscimol (GABAA), baclofen (GABAB)], muscimol suppressed preening and increased sitting, standing (all 1.0 mg/kg), and pacing (0.2 mg/kg) [7].
 

Gene context of Grooming

  • Stepping and wing flapping were increased dose-dependently, but OT decreased preening [10].
  • On the other hand, treatment of intact rats with the 5-HT1A receptor agonist ipsapirone (2.5 mg/kg), a drug that also decreases ethanol drinking in two-bottle intake tests, did increase the duration of aversive groomings, whereas measures of ingestion remained unaffected [11].
