N-Acetyl-l-Cysteine Inhibits Marble-Burying Behavior in Mice

In the present study, we examined the effect of N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC), a glutamate-modulating agent, on marble-burying behavior in mice. Fluvoxamine (30 mg/kg, p.o.) and mirtazapine (3 mg/kg, i.p.) significantly inhibited marble-burying behavior without affecting locomotor activity. Similarity,...
