| Popis: | The present study was carried out to examine the effects of peripheral administration of sulfatedcholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8S) on dopamine (DA) turnover in the posterior nucleus accumbens (PNAc) and the caudate-putamen (CP) in awake rats. Microdialysis was used to quantify the extracellular concentrations of DA and its two metabolites, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) and homovanillic acid (HVA). Intraperitoneal injections of CCK-8S (0.3 mg/kg b.wt.) caused a significant increase in DOPAC and HVA concentrations in the PNAc, but did not affect the DA level. Such increases in the metabolite contents were not found in the CP. Similar injections of vehicle (1% NaHCO3 solution, 1 ml/kg b.wt.) did not have an effect in either brain region. In an attempt to determine the type of receptor involved in the CCK-8S-induced changes, CCK tetrapeptide (CCK-4, 0.3 mg/kg b.wt.) known to have high affinity for CCKB subtype or vehicle (10% DMSO-saline, 1 ml/kg b.wt.) was administered intraperitoneally. Neither CCK-4 nor vehicle caused significant changes in any of extracellular DA, DOPAC and HVA contents in the PNAc. These results suggest that peripherally administered CCK-8S has stimulatory effects on the dopaminergic system in the PNAc, and raise the possibility that the effect appears to be mediated via CCKA receptors. |
