To study the roles of dopamine (DA) D1 and D2 receptors in nucleus accumbens in electroacupuncture analgesia (EAA) and the potentiation of EAA of rats induced by l-tetrahydropalmatine (l-THP), a dopamine receptor antagonist.
SK&F-38393 and quinpirole hydrochloride (Qui), highly selective agonists of D1 and D2 receptors, respectively were injected into nucleus accumbens of rats.
SK&F-38393 (5 and 10 micrograms) attenuated the potentiation of EAA induced by l-THP, 10 micrograms SKF38393 attenuated EAA as well, while Qui (10 and 20 micrograms) had no effect on EAA and the potentiation of EAA induced by l-THP.
D1 but not D2 receptor in nucleus accumbens play an important role in EAA and the potentiation of EAA induced by l-THP.
研究伏隔核中多巴胺(DA)D1和D2受体在电针镇痛(EAA)以及多巴胺受体拮抗剂左旋四氢巴马汀(l-THP)诱导的大鼠EAA增强效应中的作用。
分别将D1和D2受体的高选择性激动剂SK&F-38393和盐酸喹吡罗(Qui)注入大鼠伏隔核。
SK&F-38393(5微克和10微克)减弱了l-THP诱导的EAA增强效应,10微克的SKF38393也减弱了EAA,而Qui(10微克和20微克)对EAA以及l-THP诱导的EAA增强效应均无影响。
伏隔核中的D1而非D2受体在EAA以及l-THP诱导的EAA增强效应中起重要作用。
