The effect of paroxetine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor used in the treatment of depression, on extracellular serotonin levels was evaluated in freely moving conscious rats. Microdialysis, a powerful in vivo technique to monitor the extracellular levels of neurotransmitters, was used to monitor the baseline changes in the levels of serotonin in rat brain anterior lateral striatum post paroxetine administration, which is a measure of the neuropharmacodynamic effect of the drug. Microdialysis sampling was performed for 210 min prior to and for 240 min after intraperitoneal administration of paroxetine (10 mg/kg). Paroxetine caused a statistically significant increase in the extracellular levels of serotonin in the anterior lateral striatum sampled by microdialysis. The present study demonstrates the utility of microdialysis for studying the in vivo neuropharmacodynamics of paroxetine in conscious rats.
