About the Cover

The opioid medicines administration affects anxiety processes inconsistently in an acute and chronic form. On the other hand, isolation and socially rearing is not obvious on behavioral differences in the dependency and withdrawal process. This study examines isolation and socially rearing rats on the anxiety behavior in the chronic and acute dependency on the morphine or withdrawal of it. In this experimental study, 64 male Wistar rats were divided into 8 groups of eight each: isolation and socially rearing, then these groups were divided into control (saline) and morphine sulfate (10 mg/kg) and each one of them includes the acute and chronic subgroups. The injection was conducted intraperitoneally for 10 days in acute groups and in chronic groups for 60 days. The rats were quitted after the end of the period of dependence with withdrawal drug, and their anxiety and locomotors activity indexes were measured by elevated plus maze (EPM). The results of this study indicate that, 5 days after morphine withdrawal, the percentage of the time spent on the open arm of EPM was significantly decreased compared to the control group. Also, the percentage of the time spent on the open arm in isolation-reared groups compared to the corresponding group in socially reared groups has significantly decreased (P˂0.05).
