ketamine and Aggression

ketamine has been researched along with Aggression in 18 studies

Ketamine: A cyclohexanone derivative used for induction of anesthesia. Its mechanism of action is not well understood, but ketamine can block NMDA receptors (RECEPTORS, N-METHYL-D-ASPARTATE) and may interact with sigma receptors.
ketamine : A member of the class of cyclohexanones in which one of the hydrogens at position 2 is substituted by a 2-chlorophenyl group, while the other is substituted by a methylamino group.

Aggression: Behavior which may be manifested by destructive and attacking action which is verbal or physical, by covert attitudes of hostility or by obstructionism.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic that has been shown to have antidepressant effects in humans and has been proposed as a potential treatment for mood disorders such as posttraumatic stress disorder and aggression."8.31A single dose of ketamine enhances early life stress-induced aggression with no effect on fear memory, anxiety-like behavior, or depression-like behavior in mice. ( Aaflaq, S; Bartsch, CJ; Jacobs, JT; Li, Z; Nordman, JC; Qasem, E; Skinner, S; Smith, M; Summa, F; Thompson, R, 2023)
"The dose-response effects of ketamine, an intravenous anesthetic with psychotomimetic properties which is a ketone derivative of phencyclidine, were evaluated in several experimental animal models of aggression."7.67Effects of ketamine on experimental animal models of aggression. ( Monteiro-de-Lima, TC; Morato, GS; Takahashi, RN, 1984)
"Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic in human and veterinary clinic, as well as an abuse drug that acts on several neurotransmitter systems."5.72Ketamine acutely impairs memory consolidation and repeated exposure promotes stereotyped behavior without changing anxiety- and aggression-like parameters in adult zebrafish. ( Franscescon, F; Michelotti, P; Müller, TE; Pereira, ME; Rosemberg, DB, 2022)
"The ketamine metabolite (2R,6R)-hydroxynorketamine (HNK) has recently been suggested as an ideal antidepressant for treating animal models of depression."3.96Brain-derived neurotrophic factor in the ventrolateral periaqueductal gray contributes to (2R,6R)-hydroxynorketamine-mediated actions. ( Chou, D, 2020)
"After peri-adolescence isolation rearing (IS) and subchronic ketamine (KET) treatment, adult, selectively bred Wistar rats (named WISKET) mimic abnormal behaviors reminiscent of human schizophrenia, including reduced prepulse-inhibition of startle reflex, disturbances in cognition, locomotor activity and thermoregulation, decreased pain sensitivity and electrophysiological alterations."3.91Impaired GAD1 expression in schizophrenia-related WISKET rat model with sex-dependent aggressive behavior and motivational deficit. ( Benedek, G; Büki, A; Ducza, E; Horvath, G; Kekesi, G, 2019)
"The current experiments explore aggression and medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) glutamate as consequences of withdrawal from intermittent access to EtOH and changes in aggression and mPFC glutamate caused by NMDAR antagonists memantine and ketamine."3.81Aggression and increased glutamate in the mPFC during withdrawal from intermittent alcohol in outbred mice. ( DeBold, JF; Holly, EN; Hwa, LS; Miczek, KA; Nathanson, AJ; Newman, EL; Shimamoto, A; Tayeh, JK; Wilens, AR, 2015)
"The dose-response effects of ketamine, an intravenous anesthetic with psychotomimetic properties which is a ketone derivative of phencyclidine, were evaluated in several experimental animal models of aggression."3.67Effects of ketamine on experimental animal models of aggression. ( Monteiro-de-Lima, TC; Morato, GS; Takahashi, RN, 1984)
"Ketamine is a non-competitive glutamatergic antagonist that induces analgesia and anesthesia."1.48Ketamine modulates aggressive behavior in adult zebrafish. ( Michelotti, P; Pereira, ME; Quadros, VA; Rosemberg, DB, 2018)
"Ketamine was administered for agitation on 32 visits involving 27 patients."1.42Ketamine use for acute agitation in the emergency department. ( Campillo, A; Castillo, EM; Davie, T; Hopper, AB; Vilke, GM; Wilson, MP, 2015)
" Eight patients developed adverse reactions, 3 of which required further evaluation in the emergency department."1.37Safety of deep sedation in an urban oral and maxillofacial surgery training program. ( Braidy, HF; Singh, P; Ziccardi, VB, 2011)
" We conclude that 5 to 10 mg/kg oral ketamine in water which has a bioavailability of approximately 20% is a useful agent for the preinduction of patients who aggressively refuse medical treatment."1.28[Oral ketamine as preferred preanesthetic medication of uncooperative patients]. ( Jacobs, FE; Neckel, W; Tolksdorf, W, 1992)
