## Abstract The aim of this work was to determine the effects of dietary vitamin E and selenium (Se) on lipid peroxidation as thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and on the antioxidative defence mechanisms in the kidney of rats treated with highβdoses of prednisolone. Two hundred and fi

β¦ Synopsis
The influence of repeated and single administrations of desipramine, amitryptiline, and mianserin on the EEG effects of clonidine has been investigated in rats implanted with chronic cortical electrodes. Clonidine induced a dose-dependent EEG synchronization in control animals. Signs of behavioral depression occurred after administration of moderate (0.1 mg/kg) and higher (0.2 mg/kg) doses of clonidine. Single doses of desipramine and amitryptiline attenuated the clonidine effect, while mianserine potentiated clonidine-induced synchronization. Antidepressants given once daily for 14 days completely (desipramine and amitryptiline) or partially (mianserin) reduced the effect of clonidine. Antidepressants alone produced only a slight effect on cortical EEG pattern.
