The density and distribution of dopamine D1 and D2 receptors visualized by in vitro autoradiography were investigated in adult and senescent BL C57 mice. A significant decrease was observed in regions of the basal ganglia of senescent animals, which was more pronounced for the D1 subtype. Chronic treatment with cinnarizine, an organic Ca2+ channel antagonist, alters both D1 and D2 receptor densities, with a higher sensitivity of the D1 subtype. These results could indicate that the interactions between dopamine receptor subtypes may be necessary for the full expression of behavioral events mediated by the D2 receptors.

D008810 Mice, Inbred C57BL One of the first INBRED MOUSE STRAINS to be sequenced. This strain is commonly used as genetic background for transgenic mouse models. Refractory to many tumors, this strain is also preferred model for studying role of genetic variations in development of diseases.

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
