| Abstract |
Purpose: To assess the effects of oral glutamate intake on acute motor effects and chronic intake of
ethanol in rodents.
Methods: The acute effects of ethanol on motor function were studied in ICR mice by giving 2 or 6 g/kg
of ethanol 2 h after distilled water or 2.5 g/kg glutamate per os. Thirty minutes after ethanol treatment,
behavioral assays, including rotarod tests and foot print analysis were monitored. In chronic ethanol
treatment, male Wistar rats were trained to consume ethanol-sucrose solution during a 2-h period daily,
starting with 2 % ethanol/10 % sucrose and gradually increasing to 10 % ethanol/5 % sucrose solution
over 56 days. After training session, the drug treatment phase was done for 10 days. The animals were
force-fed 50 mg/kg/day topiramate or 2.5 g/kg/day glutamate 2 h before ethanol treatment sessions.
Each day, ethanol intake, water intake, food intake and body weight were recorded.
Results: Mice that received 2 or 6 g/kg of ethanol orally, showed a significant reduction in time on the
rod in the rotarod test and a significant increase in both forelimb and hindlimb stride lengths when
compared to control. Oral treatment with 2.5 g/kg of glutamate reversed the acute motor effects of
ethanol. In chronic ethanol treatment, the intake of 10 % ethanol/5 % sucrose, accessible for 2 h, was
significantly decreased in rats treated with either topiramate or glutamate.
Conclusion: These results provide evidence that oral glutamate administration help to reduce the acute
motor effects of ethanol in mice and ethanol intake in the chronic ethanol drinking rats. |
