Food intake decreased the glycine extracellular level in the rat n.accumbens. Tetrodotoxin prevented the decrease, whereas D,L-threo-beta-hydroxyaspartic acid exerted no effect. Raclopride (D2 dopamine receptor antagonist) increased the glycine extracellular level in food intake. The data obtained suggest that during feeding the glycine release in the n.accumbens is controlled by the D2 dopamine receptors.
