Release of endogenous dopamine and cholecystokinin from rat striatal slices: effects of amphetamine and dopamine antagonists. 1986

J B Hutchison, and J Strupish, and S R Nahorski

The release of immunoreactive cholecystokinin (CCK) and dopamine was monitored simultaneously from superfused rat striatal slices. Exposure of the tissue to medium containing elevated K+ or veratrine, induced a marked release of both substances. The addition of dopamine (10(-7) and 10(-6) M), the dopamine agonist pergolide (10(-7) M), the D2-antagonist sulpiride (1 microM) or the D1-antagonist (SCH 23390) had no significant effect on basal overflow or on evoked release of CCK. On the other hand, preincubation of striatal slices with D-amphetamine (10(-5) M) enhanced basal and veratrine-stimulated dopamine release but markedly suppressed evoked CCK release. Sulpiride blocked this action of amphetamine whereas SCH 23390 was ineffective. The data suggests that whereas it is difficult to observe any effects of exogenous dopamine agonists or antagonists on evoked CCK release, endogenously released dopamine appears to interact with D2-receptors to suppress evoked CCK release from rat striatal slices.

D011188	Potassium	An element in the alkali group of metals with an atomic symbol K, atomic number 19, and atomic weight 39.10. It is the chief cation in the intracellular fluid of muscle and other cells. Potassium ion is a strong electrolyte that plays a significant role in the regulation of fluid volume and maintenance of the WATER-ELECTROLYTE BALANCE.

D002766	Cholecystokinin	A peptide, of about 33 amino acids, secreted by the upper INTESTINAL MUCOSA and also found in the central nervous system. It causes gallbladder contraction, release of pancreatic exocrine (or digestive) enzymes, and affects other gastrointestinal functions. Cholecystokinin may be the mediator of satiety.

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.

D003913	Dextroamphetamine	The d-form of AMPHETAMINE. It is a central nervous system stimulant and a sympathomimetic. It has also been used in the treatment of narcolepsy and of attention deficit disorders and hyperactivity in children. Dextroamphetamine has multiple mechanisms of action including blocking uptake of adrenergics and dopamine, stimulating release of monamines, and inhibiting monoamine oxidase. It is also a drug of abuse and a psychotomimetic.	d-Amphetamine,Curban,Dexamfetamine,Dexamphetamine,Dexedrine,Dextro-Amphetamine Sulfate,DextroStat,Dextroamphetamine Sulfate,Oxydess,d-Amphetamine Sulfate,dextro-Amphetamine,Dextro Amphetamine Sulfate,Sulfate, Dextroamphetamine,d Amphetamine,d Amphetamine Sulfate,dextro Amphetamine
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.
