For many years, Schizophrenia was treated with classical Another example of the conjugation of fatty acids to a antipsychotic drugs, the neuroleptics, that block central drug is the attachment of pipotiazine, an antipsychotic, to dopamine receptors. The neuroleptics are effective for treat Stearic acid, palnitic acid, enanthic acid, undecylenic acid or ing the positive Symptoms of Schizophrenia, but have little 2,2-dimethyl-palmitic acid. Pipotiazine is a drug that acts or no effect on the negative Symptoms. The ability of these within the central nervous System. The purpose of conju drugs to antagonize dopamine receptors correlates with gating pipotiazine to the fatty acids was to create an oily antipsychotic efficacy.

    Journal of the American Association for Laboratory Animal Science Vol 58, No 6 Copyright 2019 November 2019 by the American Association for Laboratory Animal Science Pages 810–816 Use of Rodent Sedation Tests to Evaluate Midazolam and Flumazenil in Green Iguanas (Iguana iguana) Thais F Bressan, Thayanee Sobreira, and Adriano B Carregaro* This study aimed to evaluate the applicability of rodent behavioral tests to assess the effects of midazolam and flumazenil in green iguanas. Four tests commonly used to assess sedation in rodents—the open field test, forced swim test, behavioral scale, and traction test—were conducted in 10 juveniles iguanas. The animals received midazolam (2 mg/kg IM) or 0.9% NaCl (0.4 mL/kg IM), and the tests were conducted between 0 and 300 min thereafter. To verify the effects of midazolam and flumazenil, the most informative tests from the evaluation stage and the limb withdrawal latency time (LWLT) were used. All 10 iguanas were tested under 4 conditions, as follows: MS, midazolam (2 mg/kg IM), followed 30 min later by 0.9% NaCl (0.4 mL/kg IM); FS, flumazenil (0.05 mg/kg IM), followed by 0.9% NaCl (0.4 mL/kg IM) 30 min later; MF, midazolam (2 mg/ kg IM), followed by flumazenil (0.05 mg/kg IM) 30 min later; and CON, 0.9% NaCl (0.4 mL/kg IM). The behavioral scale and the forced swim test showed the best detection of the onset, peak effect, and the differences between the sedated and con- trol iguanas, with testing done between 15 and 240 min after drug administration.

What is the magnitude of metabolic dysregulation (defined as alterations in fasting glucose, total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and triglyceride levels) and alterations in body weight and body mass index associated with short-term (‘acute’) antipsychotic treatment in individuals with schizophrenia? 2. Does baseline physiology (e.g. body weight) and demographics (e.g. age) of patients predict magnitude of antipsychotic-associated metabolic dysregulation? 3.
