The D1 dopamine receptor antagonist, SCH 23390 reduces locomotor activity and rearing in rats.

چکیده
Dopamine receptors have been found to be of at least two types, and interest has focused on the possible differential role played by each in the control of behavior. The recent finding that SCH 23390 selectively blocks D1 receptors has provided a new tool. To examine the contribution of D1 receptors to locomotor activity and rearing, rats were injected SC with doses of 0.01, 0.1 and 1.0 mg/kg and monitored for 3 hr in photocell cages. SCH 23390 suppressed both behaviors in a dose-dependent fashion. These results suggest that D1 receptors participate in dopamine's control of locomotor activity and rearing.

Effects of SCH-23390 on dopamine D1 receptor occupancy and locomotion produced by intraaccumbens cocaine infusion.
This study examined the effects of both systemic and intraaccumbens administration of SCH-23390 in rats on dopamine D1 receptor occupancy and on locomotor activity produced by intraaccumbens infusion of cocaine. In experiment 1, rats received SCH-23390 (0-1 mg/kg, i.p.) 15 minutes prior to intraaccumbens infusion of cocaine (0 or 100 microg/side). In experiment 2, rats received coinfusion of SC...
متن کاملLateral hypothalamus chemical stimulation-induced antinociception was attenuated by injection of dopamine D1 and D2 receptor antagonists in the ventral tegmental area
Introduction: Stimulation or inactivation of the lateral hypothalamus (LH) produces antinociception. Studies showed a role for the ventral tegmental area (VTA) in the antinociception induced by LH chemical stimulation through the orexinergic receptors. In this study, we assessed the role of intra-VTA dopamine D1 and D2 receptors in antinociceptive effects of cholinergic agonist, carbachol, m...
متن کاملDopamine D1 and D2 antagonists block L-DOPA-induced air-stepping in decerebrate neonatal rats.
L-DOPA administered to neonatal rats suspended in air elicits stereotypic locomotor activation termed air-stepping; it can be dose-dependently blocked by a dopamine (DA) D1 or D2 antagonist. In order to determine whether the forebrain is the site for this blockade, decerebrate 5-day-old rats were pretreated subcutaneously with either the DA D1 receptor antagonist SCH 23390 (16 mg/kg), the DA D2...

The aim of this study was to explore effects on anxiety-like behavior of D1 dopamine receptor agonist, SKF-38393, and of D1 dopamine receptor antagonist, SCH-23390, given alone or in combination with a low dose of 17β-estradiol (17β-E2) to ovariectomized (OVX) rats. Two weeks after surgery, OVX rats began 14 days of treatment with the vehicle, a low dose of 17 β -E2 (5.0 μg/rat, s.c.), SKF-3839...
متن کاملIntrahypothalamic paraventricular nucleus-microinjected SKF 38393, D1 receptor agonist, reduces food intake in 24 hours food-deprived rats
Introduction: Dopamine plays an important role in the central nervous system for modulating food intake. Dopamine receptors are distributed within the hypothalamus, and expression of D1 receptors is significant in hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN). Therefore, the aim of this study was to find if PVN-microinjected SKF38393, D1 receptor agonist, may modulate food intake. Methods: Gui...
