Long-term effect of ovariectomy on dopamine-stimulated adenylate cyclase in rat striatum and nucleus accumbens. 1979

K Kumakura, and M Hoffman, and D Cocchi, and M Trabucchi, and P F Spano, and E E Müller

The long-term effects on dopamine-sensitive adenylate cyclase of deprivation of gonadal steroids resulting from ovariectomy were studied in extrahypothalamic areas of the brain, i.e. corpus striatum and nucleus accumbens. The results obtained show that in both central nervous system areas dopamine- and apomorphine-stimulated adenylate cyclase were significantly reduced, suggesting that the function of dopamine receptors in these areas was depressed.

D004298 Dopamine One of the catecholamine NEUROTRANSMITTERS in the brain. It is derived from TYROSINE and is the precursor to NOREPINEPHRINE and EPINEPHRINE. Dopamine is a major transmitter in the extrapyramidal system of the brain, and important in regulating movement. A family of receptors (RECEPTORS, DOPAMINE) mediate its action.
