RATIONALE: Neonatal maternal separation (MS) has been used to model the effects of early life stress in rodents. MS alters behavioral responses to a variety of abused drugs, but few studies have examined its effects on methamphetamine sensitivity.
OBJECTIVES: We sought to determine the effects of MS on locomotor and stereotyped responses to low-to-moderate doses of methamphetamine in male and female adolescent rats.
METHODS: Male and female rat pups were subjected to 3 h per day of MS on postnatal days (PN) 2-14 or a brief handling control procedure during the same period. During adolescence (approximately PN 40), all rats were tested for locomotor activity and stereotyped behavior in response to acute methamphetamine administration (0, 1.0, or 3.0 mg/kg, s.c.).
RESULTS: MS rats of both sexes exhibited increased locomotor activity in a novel environment, relative to handled controls. MS increased the locomotor response to methamphetamine (METH), and this effect occurred at different doses for male (3.0 mg/kg) and female (1.0 mg/kg) rats. MS also increased stereotyped behavior in response to METH (1.0 mg/kg) in both sexes.
CONCLUSIONS: MS enhances the locomotor response to METH in a dose- and sex-dependent manner. These results suggest that individuals with a history of early life stress may be particularly vulnerable to the psychostimulant effects of METH, even at relatively low doses.
