Abstract: | The effects of diazepam, which acts at GABAA receptors to enhance the
effects of GABA, and ketamine, a non-competitive N-methyl-D-aspartate
receptor antagonist, on local rates of cerebral glucose utilization
(ICMRglc) were examined in unrestrained rats. Four groups were studied:
vehicle-injected controls; and ketamine-treated, diazepam-treated and
combined ketamine- and diazepam-treated animals. Ketamine alone produced a
heterogeneous pattern of changes in ICMRglc (e.g. significant increases in
the corpus callosum, olfactory tubercle and the entire Papez circuit, in
addition to other limbic areas, and significant decreases in lateral
habenula and some components of the auditory system). Diazepam alone
statistically significantly decreased ICMRglc in the brain as a whole and
in most areas of the cerebral cortex, thalamus and limbic system. The most
remarkable effects of the two drugs administered together on ICMRglc
occurred in the limbic system where the dramatic increases observed with
ketamine alone were prevented by treatment with diazepam.
