Popis: Bromocriptine, a mixed D-1/D-2 dopaminergic receptor agonist and SKF 38393, a D-1 specific agonist were found to alleviate the incidence and intensity of audiogenic convulsions in ethanol withdrawn rats. (+) and (-)3-PPP, putative D-2 autoreceptor agonists, were without effect in the test. SCH 23390, a D-1 specific antagonist did not influence seizure intensity in ethanol withdrawn or ethanol naive animals. It is suggested that D-1 receptors may play a role in convulsive response during ethanol withdrawal.
