The effects of acute (2 day) and chronic (15 day) administration of desipramine (DMI) on clonidine-induced suppression of exploratory behavior was investigated in the rat. In accordance with previous results, low doses (25–100 μg/kg) of clonidine produced a dose-dependent decrease in explaratory activity in control animals. This effect of clonidine was markedly attenuated in the chronic DMI groups. Acute treatment with DMI was without effect. The results provide behavioral support for recent biochemical and neurophysiological data which have suggested that chronic DMI administration results in subsensitivity of presynaptic receptors on central noradrenergic neurons.
