Abstract: Injury-induced efflux of dopamine was compared between two microdialysis preparations. Rats were implanted with guide cannulae 5–10 days prior to microdialysis experiments. In one group, ventral striatal tissue was punctured with stainless steel obturators that remained in place until the day of the experiment. In the other group, the tissue was not punctured until the microdialysis probes were inserted. Rats from each group were dialyzed with calcium-free artificial extracellular fluid or tetrodotoxin 4 h after probe insertion. In the rats with previously punctured tissue, calcium depletion reduced dialysate dopamine concentrations to 8% of baseline. Dialysis with tetrodotoxin reduced dopamine concentrations to less than 1% of baseline. In the rats with freshly punctured tissue, dopamine concentrations were reduced only to 50% of baseline levels by calcium depletion and to 30% during dialysis with tetrodotoxin. Thus, penetration of the tissue prior to testing can significantly reduce the acute injury-induced efflux of dopamine. Further, a significant correlation was found between baseline 3,4-dihydroxy-phenylacetic acid/dopamine ratios and the efficacy of tetrodotoxin in reducing dialysate dopamine concentrations. Thus, basal 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid/dopamine ratios appear to provide an index of the amount of injury-induced dopamine efflux following probe insertion. 相似文献

In vivo characterization of somatodendritic dopamine release in the substantia nigra of 6-hydroxydopamine-lesioned rats 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

We investigated the effect of an injection of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) into the rat medial forebrain bundle (MFB) on the degeneration and the function of the dopaminergic cell bodies in the substantia nigra (SN) 3 and 5 weeks after lesioning. After injection of 6-OHDA into the MFB a complete loss of dopamine content was apparent in the striatum 3 weeks after lesioning. In the SN the amount of tyrosine hydroxylase-immunoreactive dopamine cells decreased gradually, with a near-complete lesion (> 90%) obtained only after 5 weeks, indicating that neurodegeneration of the nigral cells was still ongoing when total dopamine denervation of the striatum had already been achieved. Baseline dialysate and extracellular dopamine levels in the SN, as determined by in vivo microdialysis, were not altered by the lesion. A combination of compensatory changes of the remaining neurones and dopamine originating from the ventral tegmental area may maintain extracellular dopamine at near-normal levels. In both intact and lesioned rats, the somatodendritic release was about 60% tetrodotoxin (TTX) dependent. Possibly two pools contribute to the basal dopamine levels in the SN: a fast sodium channel-dependent portion and a TTX-insensitive one originating from diffusion of dopamine. Amphetamine-evoked dopamine release and release after injection of the selective dopamine reuptake blocker GBR 12909 were attenuated after a near-complete denervation of the SN (5 weeks after lesioning). So, despite a 90% dopamine cell loss in the SN 5 weeks after an MFB lesion, extracellular dopamine levels in the SN are kept at near-normal levels. However, the response to a pharmacological challenge is severely disrupted. 相似文献

The Ontogeny of Apomorphine-Induced Alterations of Neostriatal Dopamine Release: Effects on Spontaneous Release 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The effects of apomorphine (0.05, 0.1, and 1.0 mg/kg, s.c.) on the extracellular levels of dopamine and the dopamine metabolite 3, 4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid were studied through the use of in vivo microdialysis in the neostriatum of developing and adult rats. Fifteen-minute samples were collected from urethane-anesthetized rats 5, 10–11, 21–22, and 35–36 days old and adults and quantified by HPLC with electrochemical detection. Apomorphine attenuated extracellular levels of dopamine in all age groups, suggesting that the dopamine autoreceptor modulating release in the neostriatum is functional by 5 days of age. A dose-response effect of apomorphine on extracellular dopamine was observed in all age groups except at 10–11 days of age. Extracellular levels of 3, 4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid were also significantly decreased in all age groups, consistent with the hypothesis that synthesis-modulating dopamine autoreceptors in the neostriatum are functional by 5 days of age. Apomorphine had a significantly greater effect on extracellular 3, 4-dihydrpxyphenylacetic acid levels at the 0.05 and 0.1 mg/kg doses in the 5- and 10–11-day-old age groups compared with the other ages. Absolute levels of extracellular dopamine were significantly attenuated at 5 days of age compared with the other ages, and absolute levels of extracellular 3, 4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid monotonically increased with age. 相似文献

Effect of Precursor Loading on the Synthesis Rate and Release of Dopamine and Serotonin in the Striatum: A Microdialysis Study in Conscious Rats 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
The effects of systemic administration of tyrosine and phenylalanine on the extracellular levels of tyrosine and dopamine were determined by microdialysis in the striatum of awake rats. In addition, the effects of these precursors on in vivo 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) formation were determined during continuous infusion of a decarboxylase inhibitor. Both precursors increased the dialysate levels of tyrosine sixfold, but only phenylalanine administration stimulated DOPA formation. However, neither precursor affected the release of dopamine. When the precursor administration was repeated in rats in which the release of dopamine was stimulated by haloperidol pretreatment, again no effect was seen on the release of dopamine. Systemic administration of tryptophan (100 mg/kg, i.p.) during continuous infusion of a decarboxylase inhibitor induced a threefold increase in the formation of 5-hydroxytryptophan and caused an increase in the release of serotonin during infusion of an uptake inhibitor to about 150% of controls. Finally, we investigated whether dietary precursors were able to influence neurotransmitter formation and release. Rats trained to consume their daily food in a period of 2 h were implanted with microdialysis probes. Scheduled eating induced a small increase in the extracellular levels of tyrosine (135% of controls), but the release of dopamine and the formation of 5-hydroxytryptophan during continuous infusion of a decarboxylase inhibitor were not affected. 相似文献

A major aspect of understanding functions of the globus pallidus (GP) within the basal ganglia is the significance of its dopamine innervation. Here, we used in vivo-microdialysis in rats to characterize pallidal dopamine release in response to a number of physiological and pharmacological stimuli known to activate dopamine neurons. Results reveal that an aversive stimulus, i.e. handling for 20 min, significantly increased dialysate dopamine in the globus pallidus to about 130% of baseline levels. Likewise, a novel and appetitive stimulus, i.e. presentation of unfamiliar, palatable food, significantly elevated pallidal dopamine to about 150% of baseline levels both in rats which did and did not consume the food reward. These findings provide evidence that increases of dopamine (DA) efflux may largely reflect stimulus saliency implicating an involvement of pallidal dopamine signalling in control of behaviour governed by salient stimuli. Results further showed that reverse microdialysis of D-amphetamine and cocaine in augmenting concentrations of 0.1-100 microM elevated dialysate dopamine in a concentration-dependent manner suggesting a role of pallidal dopamine in mediating behavioural effects of psychostimulant drugs. 相似文献

Characterization of gamma-aminobutyric acid and dopamine overflow following acute implantation of a microdialysis probe 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
The present study characterized the voltage and calcium dependence of gamma-aminobutyric acid and dopamine overflow after the acute implantation of a microdialysis probe. Probes were implanted in dorsolateral striatum and globus pallidus. Experiments were performed under light halothane anesthesia. Basal, extracellular levels of GABA were not affected by tetrodotoxin (TTX) and were increased to 140 percent of basal values by calcium free Ringer. Basal, extracellular levels of dopamine were reduced to 14 percent of basal values by the addition of TTX and to 30 percent of basal values by the removal of calcium from the Ringer solution. The results suggest that in this in vivo preparation basal extracellular dopamine is largely of vesicular origin while GABA is not. 相似文献

Microdialysis probes were inserted bilaterally into the striatum of 7-day-old rat pups (n = 30) to examine extracellular fluid levels of dopamine, its metabolites 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) and homovanillic acid (HVA), and the serotonin metabolite 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA). The dialysis samples were assayed by HPLC with electrochemical detection. Baseline levels, measured after a 2-h stabilization period, were as follows: dopamine, not detected; DOPAC, 617 +/- 33 fmol/min; HVA, 974 +/- 42 fmol/min; and 5-HIAA, 276 +/- 15 fmol/min. After a 40-min baseline sampling period, 12 animals were exposed to 8% oxygen for 120 min. Hypoxia produced marked reductions in the striatal extracellular fluid levels of both dopamine metabolites (p less than 0.001 by analysis of variance) and a more gradual and less prominent reduction in 5-HIAA levels (p less than 0.02 by analysis of variance), compared with controls (n = 12) sampled in room air. In the first hour after hypoxia, DOPAC and HVA levels rose quickly, whereas 5-HIAA levels remained suppressed. The magnitude of depolarization-evoked release of dopamine (elicited by infusion of potassium or veratrine through the microdialysis probes for 20 min) was evaluated in control and hypoxic animals. Depolarization-evoked dopamine efflux was considerably higher in hypoxic pups than in controls: hypoxic (n = 7), 257 +/- 32 fmol/min; control (n = 12), 75 +/- 14 fmol/min (p less than 0.001 by analysis of variance). These data demonstrate that a brief exposure to moderate hypoxia markedly disrupts striatal catecholamine metabolism in the immature rodent brain. 相似文献

Using a microdialysis method, we have investigated effects of the voltage-dependent calcium channel blockers, verapamil, nicardipine, omega-conotoxin and flunarizine on the dopamine release and metabolism in the striatum of freely moving rat. Perfusion of verapamil (1-300 microM) and nicardipine (1-100 microM), an L-type calcium channel blocker, into the striatum through the dialysis membrane showed a dose-dependent decrease of dopamine release in the dialysate and slight increase of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) and homovanillic acid (HVA) levels. Treatment of omega-conotoxin (0.1, 1 microM), an N-type channel blocker, decreased about 50% basal dopamine release and slightly decreased DOPAC and HVA levels. Treatment with flunarizine (10 microM), an T-type channel blocker, did not affect the dopamine release and metabolism. From these data, it appears that treatments of the L- and N-type voltage-dependent calcium channel blockers in rat striatum suppress basal dopamine release, but T-type blocker does not suppress it, suggesting that L-, N- and T-type calcium channels regulate in vivo dopamine release in a different mechanism. 相似文献

In the present study we have applied a brain microdialysis technique to investigate the effects of ouabain infusion on the release of dopamine, acetylcholine, and amino acids from striatal neurons in freely moving rats. Ouabain caused an increase in the dialysate levels of dopamine; its metabolite 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC); and the amino acids glutamate, aspartate, taurine, glycine, alanine, serine, asparagine, and threonine. The ouabain-induced increase in dopamine was dose dependent and explosive (100-fold at an infusion concentration of 1 mmol/L) and contrasted strongly with the small effect of the glycoside on the output of DOPAC. We investigated the nature of ouabain-induced transmitter release by determining its sensitivity to coinfusion with tetrodotoxin or the calcium antagonist Mg2+. In the case of dopamine two mechanisms of ouabain-induced release could be established. At lower infusion concentrations ouabain induced an exocytotic type of release whereas at higher concentrations the release was probably carrier mediated. In the case of amino acids we noticed a calcium-independent release which was nerve impulse flow dependent in the case of glutamate and aspartate and impulse flow independent in the case of alanine, serine, glycine, threonine, and asparagine. Ouabain induced a decrease in the release of acetylcholine and glutamine. 相似文献

Microdialysis zero-net-flux (ZNF) method is commonly used to monitor drug-induced changes in neurotransmitter baseline and release/uptake processes. Recent studies in this field suggest that microdialysis ZNF method seriously underestimates the resting concentration of extracellular dopamine in the rat neostriatum because probe implantation preferentially damages nearby dopamine release sites and that dopamine uptake inhibition increases the relative recovery of dopamine by microdialysis. This study assessed the validity of these claims by examining current data on extracellular dopamine levels at rest and after drug application obtained by voltammetry, a technique thought to induce less tissue disruption than microdialysis. To obtain the extracellular baseline value for dopamine from the evoked overflow data, we modified the existing dopamine kinetic model to suit both the resting and stimulated circumstances. It was found that dopamine uptake inhibition did in fact decrease the microdialysis relative recovery of dopamine, implying that the average basal extracellular dopamine level is within the range of 7-20 nm in rat striatum. This study concludes that the microdialysis ZNF method indeed underestimates the extracellular dopamine concentration, although not by as much as had been thought. Chronic microdialysis damages both neurotransmitter release and uptake, but it does so in a somewhat relative and proportional way for both processes. Thus the validity of the microdialysis ZNF method is not seriously undermined. 相似文献

Neurochemical Characterization of Extracellular Serotonin in the Rostral Ventromedial Medulla and Its Modulation by Noxious Stimuli 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Abstract: Using in vivo microdialysis, we have characterized serotonin release from the rostral ventromedial medulla of the freely moving rat. Addition of tetrodotoxin or removal of calcium from the dialysis solution diminished the dialysate serotonin content, suggesting that spontaneous, calcium channel- and sodium channel-dependent neuronal release mechanisms contribute to the extracellular serotonin collected from the rostral ventromedial medulla. Extracellular serotonin concentration was increased by depolarization (with 100 m M potassium) and by the local administration of either a reuptake blocker (citalopram), a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (pargyline), or amphetamine. Serotonin release was reduced significantly by 8-hydroxy-2-(di- n -propylamino)tetralin, suggesting that serotonin1A receptors may regulate release from rostral ventromedial medulla neurons. Because the basal serotonin concentration in the rostral ventromedial medulla was approximately twofold higher than that collected from the rostral ventrolateral medulla, a region that contains serotonin terminals but many fewer cell bodies, the possibility of release of serotonin from rostral ventromedial medulla neurons is discussed. Finally, intraplantar formalin injection significantly increased serotonin release, suggesting that this neurotransmitter contributes to nociceptive modulation by regulating the outflow of the rostral ventromedial medulla neurons. 相似文献

In Vivo Mechanisms Underlying Dopamine Release from Rat Nigrostriatal Terminals: II. Studies Using Potassium and Tyramine 总被引:8,自引:4,他引:4

The brain microdialysis technique has been used to examine the in vivo effects of potassium and tyramine on dopamine (DA) release and metabolism in the striatum of halothane-anaesthetised rats. Increasing the concentration of potassium perfusing the dialysis probe (30-120 mM) induced a dose-related efflux of DA. A dose-related release of DA was also observed following addition of tyramine (1-100 microM) to the perfusing buffer. High concentrations of potassium were found to reduce the dialysate content of the DA metabolites 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) and homovanillic acid and the serotonin metabolite 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid. No such effect was observed even when using the highest concentration of tyramine tested. Potassium-evoked DA release was facilitated by pretreatment with the DA uptake inhibitor nomifensine, was inhibited by depletion of extracellular calcium, and was not significantly affected by tetrodotoxin (TTX). The effect of tyramine on DA efflux was inhibited by nomifensine and was insensitive to both TTX and calcium depletion. These data suggest that potassium and tyramine induce release of DA via different mechanisms. Potassium-induced DA release involves a carrier-independent process and may utilise an exocytotic release mechanism. On the other hand, tyramine-induced DA release would appear to involve a carrier-dependent process. Depletion of vesicular stores of DA by pretreatment with reserpine did not significantly affect potassium-induced DA release, whereas a marked inhibition of the effects of tyramine was noted. However, in reserpinised animals the potassium-induced release of DA was inhibited by nomifensine, a result suggesting that a carrier-dependent release mechanism operates in the absence of vesicular DA.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Carrier-Mediated Release of Serotonin by 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine: Implications for Serotonin-Dopamine Interactions 总被引:8,自引:3,他引:5
Abstract: In vivo microdialysis was used to determine whether the 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA)-induced release of serotonin (5-HT) in vivo involves a carrier-mediated process and to investigate further the state-dependent interaction between 5-HT and dopamine. MDMA produced a dose-dependent increase in the extracellular concentration of 5-HT in the striatum and prefrontal cortex that was attenuated by treatment with fluoxetine but not by tetrodotoxin. Suppression by fluoxetine of the MDMA-induced release of 5-HT was accompanied by a suppression of the MDMA-induced release of dopamine. Administration of MDMA to rats treated with carbidopa and l -5-hydroxytryptophan resulted in a synergistic elevation of the extracellular concentration of 5-HT that was much greater than that produced by either treatment alone. The MDMA-induced release of dopamine by MDMA also was potentiated in 5-hydroxytryptophan-treated rats. These data are consistent with the view that MDMA increases the extracellular concentration of 5-HT by facilitating carrier-mediated 5-HT release, which can be enhanced greatly under conditions in which 5-HT synthesis is stimulated. Moreover, these data are supportive of a state-dependent, stimulatory role of 5-HT in the regulation of dopamine release. 相似文献

The relationship between brain extracellular glucose levels and neuronal activity was evaluated using microdialysis in awake, freely moving rats. The sodium channel blocker tetrodotoxin and the depolarizing agent veratridine were administered through the dialysis probe to provoke local changes in neuronal activity. The extracellular glucose content was significantly increased in the presence of tetrodotoxin and decreased sharply following veratridine application. The systemic injection of a general anaesthetic, chloral hydrate, led to a large and prolonged increase in extracellular glucose levels. The brain extracellular glucose concentration was estimated by comparing dialysate glucose efflux over a range of inlet glucose concentrations. A mean value of 0.47 mM was obtained in five animals. The results are discussed in terms of the coupling between brain glucose supply and metabolism. The changes observed in extracellular glucose levels under various conditions suggest that supply and utilization may be less tightly linked in the awake rat than has previously been postulated. 相似文献

Microdialysis Study of Modification of Hypothalamic Neurotransmitters in Streptozotocin-Diabetic Rats 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Abstract: Neurochemical changes in the ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH) after a single intravenous injection of streptozotocin were examined, using in vivo brain microdialysis under free-moving conditions. Although streptozotocin-induced diabetes produced significant decreases in extracellular concentrations of noradrenaline (NA), serotonin (5-HT), and their metabolites in the VMH, the ratios of 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol/NA and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA)/5-HT were increased. Experimental diabetes led to a pronounced increase in extracellular GABA, which correlated strongly with the decrease in dialysate levels of NA, and to a smaller extent with that of 5-HT. A modification of dopamine (DA) metabolism was induced in the VMH of diabetic rats, whereas there was no change in dialysate DA levels. Daily injections of insulin were able to restore their levels to normal in the areas tested in the microdialysis study. The equal increases in dialysate 5-HT and 5-HIAA and the better restoration of the 5-HIAA/5-HT ratio after insulin therapy indicate that serotonergic activity may depend on the levels of circulating insulin more than on noradrenergic activity. Circulating NA was reduced in streptozotocin-diabetic rats, suggesting that the diabetes-induced reduction in sympathetic activity is accompanied by decreases in NA, or 5-HT, or both, in the VMH. 相似文献

Striatal microdialysis was performed in rats subjected to 20 min of transient forebrain ischemia produced by occlusion of the carotid arteries during hemorrhagic hypotension. Extracellular changes of dopamine, serotonin, and their metabolites were monitored before, during, and after the ischemic insult at 10-min intervals by on-line HPLC analysis. During ischemia, extracellular dopamine increased dramatically (156 times baseline), as did 3-methoxytyramine (3-MT), whereas 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) and homovanillic acid (HVA) decreased (15-25% of baseline). Upon reperfusion, dopamine was cleared from the extracellular fluid within 40 min and reached a stable level (70% of baseline). DOPAC and HVA increased (250-330%) transiently and reached their maximum 1 h following reperfusion, whereas 3-MT decreased to undetectable levels within 20 min. Although baseline levels of serotonin were not detectable, serotonin and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid showed a qualitatively similar temporal pattern to dopamine and its acid metabolites. Killing rats by cervical dislocation produced changes in extracellular dopamine, serotonin, and their metabolites that were almost identical to those seen during ischemia. Pargyline pretreatment 2 h before ischemia had marginal effects on the postischemic clearing of dopamine. The pargyline pretreatment, however, did increase the survival rate of rats subjected to ischemia, and this protective effect might be due to the pargyline-induced blockade of the post-ischemic monoamine oxidase-mediated increase in dopamine metabolism and the concurrent production of the potentially neurotoxic molecule, hydrogen peroxide. 相似文献

Extracellular Somatostatin Measured by Microdialysis in the Hippocampus of Freely Moving Rats: Evidence for Neuronal Release 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2

Abstract: Intracerebral microdialysis combined with a sensitive and specific radioimmunoassay was used to monitor the neuronal release of somatostatin (somatostatin-like immunoreactivity, SLI) in the dorsal hippocampus of freely moving rats. The sensitivity of the radioimmunoassay was optimized to detect <1 fmol/ml. The basal concentration of SLI in 20-min dialysate fractions (5 μl/min) collected 24 h after probe implantation was stable over at least 200 min. The spontaneous efflux dropped by 54 ± 6.4% ( p < 0.05) when Ca2+ was omitted and 1 m M EGTA added to the Krebs-Ringer solution and by 65.5 ± 3.2% ( p < 0.05) in the presence of 1 μ M tetrodotoxin. Depolarizing concentrations of the Na+ channel opener veratridine (6.25, 25, 100 μ M ) induced 11 ± 2 ( p < 0.05), 17 ± 2 ( p < 0.05), and 21 ± 5 ( p < 0.01) fold increase in SLI concentration, respectively, during the first 20 min of perfusion. The effect of 100 μ M veratridine was blocked by coperfusion with 5 μ M tetrodotoxin ( p < 0.01) and reduced by 79% ( p < 0.01) in the virtual absence of Ca2+ . Neuronal depolarization by 20 min of perfusion with Krebs-Ringer solution containing 25 and 50 m M KCl and proportionally lowered Na+ increased the dialysate SLI 4.4 ± 1 ( p < 0.05) and 17 ± 3 ( p < 0.01) fold baseline, respectively. Ten micromolar ouabain, a blocker of Na+ ,K+ -ATPase, increased the dialysate SLI 15-fold baseline, on average ( p < 0.05), during 80 min of perfusion. The results demonstrate the suitability of brain microdialysis for monitoring the neuronal release of SLI and for studying its role in synaptic transmission. 相似文献

Alcohol enhances characteristic releases of dopamine and serotonin in the central nucleus of the amygdala 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

The amygdaloid complex (AMY) is implicated in emotional and motivational aspects of behavior, including the formation of positive reinforcement association. AMY may also associated with brain rewarding circuitry. In the present study, the effect of ethanol (EtOH) on the release of dopamine (DA) and serotonin (5-HT) was studied in the central amygdaloid nucleus (CeAMY), and projecting excitatory afferents to the ventral tegmental area (VTA), of freely moving Wistar rats by brain microdialysis. Within 20 min of i.p. injection of EtOH (2 g/kg), the levels of DA and 5-HT in the CeAMY dialysate increased over the baseline value by 270 and 160% (N = 6-7), respectively. Addition of EtOH (25, 50 and 100 mM) to the microdialysis perfusion medium for 1 h caused a 115-150% dose-related increase in the extracellular level of DA in the CeAMY. 100 mM EtOH-induced CeAMY DA release continued to increase for 1 h after the perfusion medium was returned to normal perfusion medium. In contrast, the CeAMY 5-HT level was increased only by the addition of 100 mM EtOH for 1 h to 130% for 80 min. The stimulation of the CeAMY by EtOH through the microdialysis membrane showed delayed responses of DA and 5-HT compared with the i.p. injection of EtOH. Overall, the present findings are not sufficient to conclude whether EtOH acts directly or indirectly on the major monoamine nerve cells in the CeAMY, but the degree of acute EtOH action affected the differences in time at the peak response on EtOH-induced DA and 5-HT releases in the CeAMY via VTA. 相似文献

Interstitial 3-Methoxytyramine Reflects Striatal Dopamine Release: An In Vivo Microdialysis Study 总被引:3,自引:2,他引:1

Previous ex vivo studies have provided indirect evidence that the dopamine (DA) metabolite 3-methoxytyramine (3-MT) may be a useful index of DA release in vivo. In the present study, in vivo microdialysis was utilized to assess directly the relationship between extracellular DA and 3-MT in the striatum of rats following a variety of pharmacological manipulations. Apomorphine, a DA receptor agonist, produced a rapid, transient decrease in both DA and 3-MT. Conversely, the DA receptor antagonist haloperidol produced a concomitant increase in extracellular DA and 3-MT. Increases in DA and 3-MT were also noted following the administration of the DA uptake inhibitor, bupropion. Local application of tetrodotoxin resulted in the complete elimination of measurable amounts of DA and 3-MT in the dialysate, gamma-Butyrolactone also greatly decreased DA and 3-MT. Finally, d-amphetamine produced a large increase in DA and 3-MT in animals that had been treated previously with gamma-butyrolactone. The Pearson correlation coefficients for DA and 3-MT following these manipulations ranged from 0.87 to 0.97. These data indicate that interstitial 3-MT is an accurate index of DA release. However, when compared with previous ex vivo findings, the present results also suggest that changes in tissue concentrations of 3-MT may not reliably reflect DA release following certain pharmacological manipulations. 相似文献

Group I mGlu receptors have been implicated in the control of brain dopamine release. However, the receptor subtype involved and the precise site of action have not been determined. In this study we show that (R,S)3,5-dihydroxyphenylglycine (DHPG; 6 and 60 nmol ICV), a selective group I mGlu receptor agonist, raised extracellular dopamine respectively by 176% and 243% of basal values in the medial prefrontal cortex as assessed by in vivo microdialysis in conscious rats. (R,S)2-chloro-5-hydroxyphenylglycine (60 nmol ICV), a selective mGlu5 receptor agonist, raised extracellular dopamine by 396% of basal values. Intra-VTA DHPG (0.6–6 nmol) mimicked ICV injection whereas intracortical infusion (1–1000 µmol/L) had no effect. DHPG-induced rise of extracellular dopamine was reversed by tetrodotoxin and by the selective mGlu1 and mGlu5 receptor antagonists 7(hydroxyimino)cyclopropa[b]chromen-1a-carboxylate (CPCCOEt) and 2-methyl-6-(phenylethynyl)pyridine (MPEP) either ICV or into the ventrotegmental area (VTA), suggesting that neuronal release and both mGlu1 and mGlu5 receptors were involved. These results support the existence of functional mGlu1 and mGlu5 receptors in the VTA regulating the release of dopamine in the medial prefrontal cortex. 相似文献
