Abstract

Lithium in vitro at concentrations of 1-2 mM and above inhibited cyclic AMP accumulation due to noradrenaline in cerebral cortical slices prepared from both control rats and rats rendered supersensitive for the noradrenaline response by intraperitoneal injection of reserpine. There was no difference in the concentration-dependence of lithium inhibition between control and reserpine-treated rats.
