摘要

Repeated intermittent administration of cocaine is well known to produce behavioral sensitization in male animals. The present studies explored whether intact adult female rats maintained normal estrous patterns in response to repeated IV cocaine administration and whether behavioral sensitization occurred with this route of administration. Adult female Sprague-Dawley rats (N = 48) were surgically implanted with an intravenous access port. Animals received 3.0 mg/kg IV cocaine once/day for 14 days. Daily vaginal lavages indicated that female rats continued to cycle normally throughout the experiment. Estimates of statistical power for detecting alterations in estrous cycle length ranged from 0.61-0.95 for small (0.1) to large (0.4) effect sizes. Moreover, no cocaine-treated animals displayed persistent vaginal estrus or were acyclic and cocaine treatment did not decrease body weight. Immediately after the cocaine injection, animals were placed in IR photocell activity chambers for 60 min. Female rats displayed a significant 75% increase in locomotor activity across the 14-day time course of IV cocaine injections. These data indicate that 3.0 mg/kg of IV cocaine does not interfere with normal estrous cyclicity, and that behavioral sensitization occurs in female rats following repeated daily IV cocaine dosing. Collectively, these data suggest that the IV cocaine-dosing model may be particularly useful in exploring the gender-dependent effects of cocaine using intact female rats.
