Evaluation of serotonin, noradrenaline and dopamine reuptake inhibitors on light-induced phase advances in hamster circadian activity rhythms

摘要

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are widely prescribed for the treatment of anxiodepressive states that are often associated with perturbed circadian rhythms including, in certain patients, phase advances. Surprisingly, the influence of SSRIs upon circadian activity rhythms has been little studied in experimental models.
