Resumen
Estudos prévios têm mostrado que o neuroesteróide isopregnanolona bloqueou o desenvolvimento da tolerância rápida ao efeito ansiolítico do etanol. O objetivo do presente estudo foi investigar a influência da alopregnanolona sobre o desenvolvimento da tolerância rápida ao efeito ansiolítico do etanol em camundongos. No primeiro experimento, o objetivo foi investigar o efeito da alopregnanolona (0.05, 0.10 ou 0.20 mg/kg) sobre a tolerância rápida ao etanol (1.5 g/kg). No segundo experimento, o efeito do flumazenil (2.0 mg/kg) sobre a influência da alopregnanolona na tolerância rápida ao etanol foi investigado. Os resultados mostram que o tratamento prévio com alopregnanolona interferiu no desenvolvimento da tolerância rápida ao efeito ansiolítico etanol. Além disso, o tratamento prévio com flumazenil não interferiu na ação inibitória da alopregnanolona sobre o desenvolvimento da tolerância rápida ao etanol.

Palabras clave

Abstract
It has been shown that the neurosteroid isopregnanolone blocks the development of rapid tolerance to the anxiolytic effect of ethanol. The aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of allopregnanolone on the development of rapid tolerance to the anxiolytic effect of ethanol in mice. In the first experiment, male Swiss mice were pretreated with allopregnanolone (0.05, 0.10 or 0.20 mg/kg) 30 min before administration of ethanol (1.5 g/kg). Twenty-four hours later, all animals were tested using the plus-maze apparatus. In the second experiment, the effect of pretreatment of mice with flumazenil (2.0 mg/kg) 15 min before the administration of allopregnanolone on rapid tolerance to the anxiolytic effect of ethanol was studied. The results show that pretreatment with allopregnanolone interfered with the development of rapid tolerance to the anxiolytic effect to ethanol. Furthermore, the pretreatment with flumazenil did not block the effect of allopregnanolone on the development of rapid tolerance to ethanol.
