The of four psychomotor stimulants (d-amphetamine, β-phenylethylamine, cocaine and methylphenidate) were determined on: 1) the rate of dopamine (DA) synthesis, as measured by the accumulation of dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) after aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase inhibition, in the striatum (terminals of nigrostriatal neurons) and in the nucleus accumbens and olfactory tubercle (terminals of mesolimbic neurons) and 2) the efflux of the DA metabolite 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) into cerebroventricular perfusates of conscious, freely-moving rats. d-Amphetamine and β-phenylethylamine produced biphasic responses with lower doses of each drug increasing both the efflux of DOPAC and the rate of DA synthesis in the striatum. Higher doses of each drug either had no effect or actually decreased the efflux of DOPAC and also decreased the rate of DA synthesis in the striatum. Higher doses of each drug either had no effect only decreased the efflux of DOPAC and the rate of DA synthesis in the striatum. The effects of the drugs on the rate of DA synthesis in the nucleus accumbens and olfactory tubercle were similar to, but less pronounced than those seen in the striatum. These results are consistent with the following suggestions: 1) low doses of d-amphetamine and β-phenylethylamine facilitate the neuronal release of DA while higher doses of both drugs facilitate release and inhibit neuronal reuptake of the amine, and 2) cocaine and methylphenidate preferentially block the neuronal reuptake of DA. 相似文献

Endogenous noradrenaline levels are elevated in medulla oblongata, mesencephalon, pons and thalamus of adult rats which had been treated with 6-hydroxydopamine on days 1, 2, 8 and 15 after birth. Levels in spinal cord, cerebellum, hippocampus/amygdala and cortex are depressed, whereas no significant changes are observed in striatum, hypothalamus and medulla spinalis. The rate at which medulla oblongata synthesizes tritiated noradrenaline and dopamine from tritiated tyrosine is markedly enhanced. No effect was apparent on catecholamine synthesis in hypothalamus. Tritiated noradrenaline synthesis, but not tritiated dopamine synthesis, in the cortex is depressed. These results support the view that neonatal 6-hydroxydopamine treatment causes a degeneration of noradrenaline nerve terminals in the cortex and induces an increase in noradrenaline terminals in the medulla oblongata. 相似文献

We have earlier shown that d-lysergic acid diethylamide, LSD and its 2-bromo derivative, BOL like the dopamine (DA) antagonists haloperidol increased the rate of the tyrosine hydroxylation in the striatum measured as the accumulation of DOPA after decarboxylase inhibition.Now we have found that several agents structurally similar to LSD increase the tyrosine hydroxylation in the striatum. Psilocybin (50 mg/kg i.p.) and N,N-dimethyltryptamine (50 mg/kg i.p.) caused a short-lasting increase of DOPA accumulation, while mescaline (10 – 100 mg/kg i.p.) did not increase the DOPA accumulation. A marked increase of DOPA accumulation was observed after the 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) antagonist cyproheptadine. The effects of LSD and structurally related drugs on the DOPA accumulation in the striatum appear to be mediated via DA antagonism at receptor level. However, these agents may control the DOPA accumulation via other receptors than DA receptors e.g. 5-HT receptors. A control of DOPA accumulation via receptors other than DA receptors appears to be predominant after treatment with N,N-dimethyltryptamine or psilocybin. 相似文献

A single injection of amphetamine was shown to reduce the tyramine concentration in the striatum and olfactory tubercles; tyramine values on the other hand increased. After chronic treatment, this pattern persisted with respect to tyramine in the striatum and tyramine in the olfactory tubercles. In the striatum the tyramine returned towards the endogenous value. No effect on these two trace amines was observed in the hypothalamus or hippocampus nor were significant changes noted in any region with respect to β-phenylethylamine. A direct relationship between tyramine concentration and amphetamine-induced ICS and tolerance was demonstrated. 相似文献

Butaclamol, a new neuroleptic agent, and its (+)- enantiomer caused a pronounced dose-related elevation of rat striatal homovanillic acid concentration . In addition, each blocked the dopamine-induced increase in adenyl cyclase activity of homogenates of the olfactory tubercle, a limbic area in the brain. The (-)-enantiomer of butaclamol did not exhibit these activities indicating a stereochemical specificity for dopamine receptor-blockade activity. The (+)-enantiomer was 2–3 times more potent than butaclamol, exhibiting activities similar to those of fluphenazine. The present findings are consistent with the existence of relationships between changes in dopamine turnover in the striatum and the production of extrapyramidal side effects and between changes in adenyl cyclase activity of olfactory tubercle and antipsychotic activity. 相似文献

Intraperitoneal injection of phencyclidine before intravenous injection of [3H] Quinuclidinyl benzilate (QNE, 1.6 μg/kg) significantly increased the amount of radioactivity found in the brains of female C57BL/6J mice one hour after the 3H-QNB administration. This effect was found in hypothalamus, cortex, hippocampus and striatum and was decreased by pretreatment of the animal with atropine. The magnitude of the enhancement varied as a function of dose but did not change across the time span studied. These data are in contrast to our findings and those of others of inhibition of the specific binding of 3H-QNB to muscarinic cholinergic receptors by PCP . When atropine or PCP was administered and the tissue later analyzed , no effects of the drugs were observed on 3H-QNB binding. The reasons for the differences remain a matter of speculation. 相似文献

Amphetamine and -hydroxyamphetamine have been identified in four rat brain regions after various treatments with d-amphetamine sulfate. The data indicates a rapid and prolonged concentration of -hydroxyamphetamine into the striatum and olfactory tubercles. Electrolytic lesions placed in the substantia nigra reduced -hydroxyamphetamine accumulation in the ipsilateral striatum suggesting that this amine was concentrated into neuronal structures originating in the substantia nigra. 相似文献

The effects of opiates on dopamine (DA) release and synthesis were assessed in the mouse striatum by simultaneously measuring 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) levels after inhibition of aromatic amino acid decarboxylase. This method was developed to assess stimulus-coupled changes in DA synthesis and release. Peripheral injections of morphine and intraventrcular injections of D-Ala2-Leu5-enkephalin elevated DOPAC levels, indicating that “opiates” stimulated DA release. Concomitantly, the rate of DA synthesis was increased. The effects were dose-dependent, saturable and antagonized by naloxone. When morphine and the enkephalin analog were given together in saturating doses, the effects of the two agents were not additive. Thus, the involvement of different receptors in the mediation of the effects of morphine and enkephalins could not be demonstrated. 相似文献

The quantity of organic acids ( lactic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid and butyric acid ) in the content of the gastrointestinal tract of germ-free and conventional rats and the effects of the organic acid on the motility of the gastrointestinal tract of rats were investigated.Organic acids were detected only in the gastrointestinal contents of conventional rats but not in those of germ-free rats.Lactic acid detected in the stomach of rats stimulated the motility of both small and large bowel while acetic acid, propionic acid and butyric acid found in the cecum stimulated the motility of the large bowel but not of small bowel. 相似文献

Tyrosine, the amino acid precursor of catecholamines, increases blood pressure (BP) in hemorrhaged hypotensive rats. Since tyrosine may also be decarboxylated to form ∞, which releases norepinephrine from sympathetic terminals, we tested the hypothesis that formation might mediate tyrosine's ability to increase BP. Three lines of evidence indicate that tyrosine does not act via this mechanism: pretreatment with reserpine blocked but not tyrosine's pressor activity; pretreatment with hexamethonium left effect intact but blocked the pressor response to tyrosine; and plasma did not increase after an hemodynamically-active dose of tyrosine (100 mg/kg). 相似文献

The circular dichroism spectra of natural glycerophospholipids and synthetic 1--phosphatidic acid were recorded. 3--phosphatidic acid derivatives were found to show a positive Cotton effect, while 1--phosphatidic acid revealed a negative Cotton effect. The results are interpreted in terms of the carboxyl sector rule. By this method phospholipase D was shown to produce stereospecifically 3--phosphatidyl-1--glycerol when incubated with egg yolk lecithin and exess of glycerol. 相似文献

The exchange and maximal net fluxes of [14C]glucose across the membrane of the human red cell were measured. The effects of sulfonic acid and chlormerodrin on these two parameters of glucose transport were determined. At low concentrations sulfonic acid (a non-penetrating organic mercurial) was found to readily inhibit the exchange flux but not the net efflux. At extremely high concentrations of sulfonic acid the maximal net efflux showed some degree of inhibition. Chlormerodrin (a penetrating organic mercurial) inhibited both the exchange and net fluxes in the same manner. The addition of insulin in certain instances reduced the degree of inhibition caused by the organic mercurials. Insulin had no effect on the amount of either sulfonic acid or chlormerodrin which bound to the red cell. From the results obtained, it is suggested that there exist glucose-reactive sites on both the outer and inner surfaces of the membrane. The results also suggest a carrier system possessing different sites or molecular arrangements for glucose egrees and for glucose entry. 相似文献

The effect of catecholamines on somatostatin release by median eminence (ME) fragments was evaluated using an incubation system. Adult male rats were used as tissue donors. Somatostatin release was readily detected during short-term incubations (10 and 30 minutes). Dopamine (DA) significantly stimulated somatostatin release during a 30 minute incubation period at the two doses tested (0.6 and 6 μM). Under similar conditions, norepinephrine (NE) stimulated somatostatin release only at the 6 μM dose. Using a shorter incubation period (10 min) and a 6 μM dose, only DA stimulated somatostatin release. The effects of DA and NE were specifically blocked by the addition of pimozide or phentolamine, respectively, suggesting that dopaminergic and noradrenergic receptors may be present in the somatostatinergic terminals of the ME. The results indicate that both DA and NE may be involved in the regulation of somatostatin secretion. 相似文献

Increase in striatal acetylcholine levels in vivo by piribedil a new dopamine receptor stimulant 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Piribedil, (1–2″-pyrimidyl)-4-piperonyl piperazine), an agent proposed for the treatment of Parkinson's disease, was found to increase acetylcholine levels in the rat striatum and diencephalon but not in the mesencephalon, cerebellum or hemispheres. The effect was most marked in the striatum (greater than 100%) and long-lasting (at least 8 hours after a single administration of 60 mg/kg i.p.). Striatal choline levels were also increased by piribedil but did not parallel at all times and doses the effect on acetylcholine. Furthermore, choline levels were increased in all brain regions except the hemispheres. Striatal choline acetyltransferase and acetylcholinesterase were not affected by or treatment with even high doses of piribedil. α-Methyl-p-tyrosine was ineffective in blocking piribedil while pimozide, a blocker of dopamine receptors, completely antagonized the action of piribedil on striatal acetylcholine. It is concluded that piribedil produced the increase in striatal acetylcholine by directly stimulating dopamine receptors. 相似文献

Administration of d-lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) and its analogue 2-bromo lysergic acid diethylamide (BOL) resulted in a shortlasting increase of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) levels in the rat striatum. BOL was more potent than LSD in the dose range 0.5–4.0 mg/kg. Since there was a concomitant increase in the striatal tyrosine hydroxylation as measured by DOPA accumulation after decarboxylase inhibition, our findings suggest that LSD and BOL increase the impulse flow in the nigro-neostriatal pathway probably by central dopamine (DA) receptor antagonism. However, 4 hrs after LSD the DOPAC level was decreased, while the DOPA accumulation was not. Thus the effect of LSD on the dopaminergic system appears not to be limited to a pure receptor antagonism. The possibility also exists that the effect of LSD on the nigro-neostriatal DA pathway is secondary to its effect on the central 5-hydroxytryptaminergic system. 相似文献

Early appearance in neural crest and crest-derived cells of an antigenic determinant present in avian neurons 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
A monoclonal antibody (“”) against chicken dorsal root ganglion cells has been produced. The epitope (antigenic determinant) to which this antibody binds appears in neuronal cells—of both the peripheral and central nervous systems—and in a limited number of nonneuronal cell types in avian embryos. The epitope is intracellular and is probably part of a protein as judged by its susceptibility to proteases. This epitope appears very early in neuronal development. It may be detected in brain, spinal cord, and ventral root nerve fibers of Hamburger-Hamilton stage 16 chicken embryos (51–56 hr of incubation). At this same age, cells can be found in the neural crest migratory space between the neural tube and the somite about a day before dorsal root ganglia begin to coalesce. Since some cultured neural crest cells (but not somitic mesenchymal cells) also express this epitope, we propose that the monoclonal antibody identifies an early differentiating subpopulation of neural crest cells which express this putative neuronal trait soon after the time of cessation of migration in vivo. 相似文献

Some opiates with morphinan- and benzomorphan-structures possess affinities for neuroleptic receptors as revealed by their abilities to compete with 3H-spiroperidol for common binding sites in rat striatum (IC50 in the range between 10?6 and 10?5M). The binding of these opiates to neuroleptic receptors appears to be of pharmacological significance, since studies in mice revealed a small but significant displacement of spiroperidol by high doses of the opiate antagonist levallorphan from specific binding sites in the striatum. In addition, there exists some correlation between the ability of opiates to bind to neuroleptic receptor sites and their potency to evoke “bizarre behavior” in rats . In contrast, a wide variety of other opiates having morphine-, morphinone- or oripavine-structure showed no affinity for neuroleptic binding sites (IC50 greater than 10?4 M). Of the opioid peptides (methionine-enkephalin, leucine-enkephalin and β-endorphin) none has an affinity for neuroleptic binding sites. A variety of other peptides were also investigated but did not interfere with spiroperidol binding. Only ACTH showed a moderate affinity for neuroleptic binding sites. 相似文献

The effects of Cloprostenol administration on porcine luteal lipid and arachidonic acid accumulation were examined in relation to luteal progesterone and prostaglandin F synthesis in 18 mature gilts at day 12 of the estrous cycle. Basal and net release of progesterone from luteal tissue was depressed at 8 hr after treatment whereas net release of prostaglandin F was elevated at 8 hr. Inclusion of copper dithiothreitol or reduced glutathione in the incubation media resulted in minor alterations of release of progesterone and prostaglandin F and no changes in composition of luteal lipids or fatty acids. Luteal contents of triglyceride had increased by 8 hr after treatment whereas contents of free and esterified cholesterols had increased by 32 hr after Cloprostenol administration. Luteal contents of phospholipid and free fatty acids were not affected by Cloprostenol administration. At 32 hr after treatment, percentages and content of arachidonic acid had increased in luteal cholesterol esters and triglycerides. Although arachidonic acid percentages increased in luteal free fatty acids and phospholipids, calculated arachidonic acid contents did not change following Cloprostenol administration. Induced luteal regression was associated with decreased progesterone release, increased prostaglandin F release, and accelerated lipid and arachidonic acid accumulation within the corpus luteum. The effects of altered lipid metabolism on release of prostaglandin F could not be defined. However, availability of arachidonic acid did not appear to be rate-limiting in relation to luteal prostaglandin F synthesis. 相似文献

Studies of the ontogeny of dopamine and neuroleptic receptors in the central nervous system of the rat were carried out using 3H-spiperone as ligand. It was demonstrated that intraperitoneal injections can be successfully used to label these receptors in rat pups up to at least 30 days of age. The time course and characteristics of 3H-spiperone binding in the brain of 5, 15 and 30 day old rat pups were determined and found to include appropriate regional distribution, saturability and appropriate pharmacology. The developmental pattern of 3H-spiperone binding paralleled what has been seen using techniques. In addition preliminary autoradiographic studies describe the neuroanatomical pattern of dopamine receptor ontogeny in the striatum. 相似文献

Methylated amino acids from ribosomal protein L33 of various strains (Q13, B and MRE600) were analyzed. It was found that while protein L33 from Q13 contains two methylated neutral amino acids (peaks I and II), only one methylated neutral amino acid (peak I) was found in protein L33 derived from both strains B and MRE600. The methylated amino acid present in peak I was identified as N-monomethylalanine by ion-exchange column chromatography, high-voltage paper electrophoresis and descending paper chromatography using different solvent systems. This marks the first time that N-monomethylalanine was found in any ribosomal protein. 相似文献
