Abstract

To test the possible role of cholecystokinin (CCK) in the decrease of social exploration induced by intraperitoneal (IP) injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 100 μg/kg), mice were pretreated with IP or intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of the CCKA receptor antagonist L-364,718 (3 mg/kg and 10 μg/kg, respectively) and the CCKB receptor antagonist L-365,260 (1 mg/kg and 10 μg/kg, respectively). L-364,718 and L-365,260 did not alter LPS-induced decrease in social investigation, whatever the route of administration, suggesting that endogenous cholecystokinin does not mediate the effect of proinflammatory cytokines on social exploration in mice.
