Sibutramine induces potential-dependent exocytotic release but not carrier-mediated release of dopamine and 5-hydroxytryptamine.
In order to clarify the mechanism underlying the anti-obesity effects of sibutramine, we examined the effects of sibutramine on extracellular levels of dopamine and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) through microdialysis in the striatum in unanesthetized and freely moving rats. Sibutramine (5 mg/kg, oral administration (p.o.)) increased extracellular dopamine and 5-HT levels in rat striatum. The tricy...
متن کاملAmphetamine paradoxically augments exocytotic dopamine release and phasic dopamine signals.
Drugs of abuse hijack brain-reward circuitry during the addiction process by augmenting action potential-dependent phasic dopamine release events associated with learning and goal-directed behavior. One prominent exception to this notion would appear to be amphetamine (AMPH) and related analogs, which are proposed instead to disrupt normal patterns of dopamine neurotransmission by depleting ves...
متن کاملVoltammetric and pharmacological characterization of dopamine release from single exocytotic events at rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells.
Although rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) neurotransmitter storage vesicles are known to contain a variety of neurotransmitters including catecholamines, there is little evidence that the molecular species detected during amperometric monitoring of exocytosis is a catecholamine. Rather, as these are catecholamine-containing cells, one assumes catecholamines are released. Additionally, although the t...
متن کاملThe exocytotic fusion pore
T hE fusion pore is the molecular structure that transiently connects the lumens of two membrane compartments during their fusion. The fusion of membrane compartments occurs in all cells because intracellular trafficking of vesicles in both endocytic and exocytic pathways and in consti-tutive exocytosis are ubiquitous cellular processes. In addition, many other cells including endocrine, exocri...
متن کاملIs physiologic sympathoadrenal catecholamine release exocytotic in humans?
In cultured cells and isolated perfused organs, catecholamines are coreleased with chromogranin A (CgA) from adrenal chromaffin cells and sympathetic neurons. The corelease suggests that exocytosis is the mechanism of catecholamine secretion. To investigate whether physiologic catecholamine secretion is exocytotic in humans, we measured plasma norepinephrine, epinephrine, and CgA responses to d...
