Abstract: | The ability of several classes of neuroleptics to inhibit the activity of phosphate-activated glutaminase was studied in several brain regions. These agents decreased glutaminase activity only in the amygdala. Amphetamine elevated glutaminase activity in this region. This stimulation was not blocked by (-) butaclamol, but was blocked by (+) butaclamol, haloperidol, chlorpromazine or clozapine. |
