Following unilateral 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) lesions of the substantia nigra or unilateral kainic acid (KA) lesions of the striatum rats displayed rotation behavior in response to apomorphine (0.25 mg/kg SC or 1 mg/kg SC for the 6-OHDA- and KA-lesioned rats respectively). Three to five days following the initial apomorphine challenge rats were challenged under identical conditions with the same dose of apomorphine received previously. Both 6-OHDA- and KA-lesioned rats demonstrated a significant increase in the total number of rotations. Following a subsequent challenge with apomorphine, rats showed further increases in the total number of rotations. With the second and the subsequent apomorphine challenges there were significant increases in the maximal number of rotations, a significant decrease in the time of onset of rotation behavior and in some cases an increase in the duration of the rotation behavior. These increases in rotation behavior following repeated challenges with apomorphine indicate a supersensitivity to dopamine receptor agonists distinct from that elicited by lesions and chronic antagonist treatments. Furthermore, the utility of the rotation behavior model for testing the efficacy of dopaminergic agonists might be compromised if repeated challenges in individual animals are employed.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007608 Kainic Acid (2S-(2 alpha,3 beta,4 beta))-2-Carboxy-4-(1-methylethenyl)-3-pyrrolidineacetic acid. Ascaricide obtained from the red alga Digenea simplex. It is a potent excitatory amino acid agonist at some types of excitatory amino acid receptors and has been used to discriminate among receptor types. Like many excitatory amino acid agonists it can cause neurotoxicity and has been used experimentally for that purpose. Digenic Acid,Kainate,Acid, Digenic,Acid, Kainic

D003342 Corpus Striatum Striped GRAY MATTER and WHITE MATTER consisting of the NEOSTRIATUM and paleostriatum (GLOBUS PALLIDUS). It is located in front of and lateral to the THALAMUS in each cerebral hemisphere. The gray substance is made up of the CAUDATE NUCLEUS and the lentiform nucleus (the latter consisting of the GLOBUS PALLIDUS and PUTAMEN). The WHITE MATTER is the INTERNAL CAPSULE.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D001058 Apomorphine A derivative of morphine that is a dopamine D2 agonist. It is a powerful emetic and has been used for that effect in acute poisoning. It has also been used in the diagnosis and treatment of parkinsonism, but its adverse effects limit its use.
