Aims: The mutual interrelation between cardiovascular diseases and anxiety disorder has been frequently discussed. The aim of this study was to show whether L-NAME (N[omega]-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester)-induced hypertension could induce behavioural disturbances in rats and whether these potential disorders could be modified by chronic treatment with melatonin. Material and Methods: 12-week-old male Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups (n = 10 per group): control, melatonin (10 mg/kg/day p.o.), L-NAME (40 mg/kg/day p.o.), L-NAME + melatonin. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) was measured by non-invasive plethysmography once a week. Elevated plus maze...
