The effects of acute administration of haloperidol on local cerebral glucose utilization (LCGU) in 26 discrete regions of the rat brain were examined by the quantitative autoradiographic [14C] 2-deoxy-D-glucose technique and compared with the changes in dopamine (DA) metabolism in 13 brain regions examined by a high performance liquid chromatographic assay. A moderate dose (0.25 mg/kg) of acute haloperidol significantly reduced LCGU in a few brain regions; a high dose (1.0 mg/kg) reduced LCGU in 11 regions including the prefrontal cortex, thalamus and other subcortical structures, but not in the caudate putamen or accumbens nucleus. However, the levels of DA metabolite in the caudate-putamen, accumbens nucleus, prefrontal cortex, and medial thalamus were strikingly elevated with both doses of haloperidol. Thus, the changes in LCGU did not parallel presynaptic DA metabolism in terms of direction or distribution, and they might represent mainly the activities of postsynaptic sites.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon

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.

D006220 Haloperidol A phenyl-piperidinyl-butyrophenone that is used primarily to treat SCHIZOPHRENIA and other PSYCHOSES. It is also used in schizoaffective disorder, DELUSIONAL DISORDERS, ballism, and TOURETTE SYNDROME (a drug of choice) and occasionally as adjunctive therapy in INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY and the chorea of HUNTINGTON DISEASE. It is a potent antiemetic and is used in the treatment of intractable HICCUPS. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual, 1994, p279) Haldol
