摘要: The effects of amitriptyline, lithium, and electroconvulsive shock on cerebral permeability blood flow were tested. These three treatments share in common (i) the ability to influence functional activity central adrenergic neurons by way release, reuptake, or metabolism norepinephrine (ii) therapeutic efficacy mood disturbances. Under control conditions, increases linealy with increasing arterial partial pressure carbon dioxide hence flow. All altered this relationship a manner consistent their effects. Amitriptyline potentiated increase whereas lithium blunted phenomenon. results support hypothesis that one function is regulation blood-brain barrier raise possibility related effect may underlie clinical usefulness such treatment.
