Abstract
This series of results shows that etifoxine reduces the amplitude of autonomic manifestations in response to a stressful stimulus of variable intensity, such as hyperthermia, increased colonic motor activity or reduced gastric emptying. The anxiolytic properties of etifoxine are therefore exerted on both the behavioural and the autonomic aspects. These results provide a basis for evaluating this drug in anxious patients in whom autonomic nervous system manifestations constitute pathological symptoms.
