The circadian rhythms of hypothalamic serotonin (5HT), tryptophan (TP) and 5-hydroxy-indoleacetic acid (5HIAA), and serum corticosterone were determined in male Wistar rats. The animals underwent a five-week 12:12-hr light/dark cycle conditioning period and were divided into three groups: rats housed four to a cage (group C, control), rats housed individually (group I), and rats housed individually and treated for two weeks with 10 mg/kg/day of imipramine continuously administered by osmotic pumps implanted under the skin (group T). Significant differences were found in the acrophases of 5HT, TP and 5HIAA between group I and group C, and corticosterone mesor was higher in group I than in group C. On the contrary, no differences were observed between group T (individually housed, but given imipramine) and group C. Therefore, chronically administered imipramine antagonizes the circadian changes induced by individual housing.
