摘要
We determined proenkephalin and protachykinin mRNA levels in the striatum of the rat by in situ hybridization histochemistry in controls and in animals treated for 14 days with the potential neuroleptic drug BMY 14802 (15 mg/kg i.p.). Proenkephalin mRNA levels were increased relative to control values by 107, 88 and 94% and protachykinin mRNA levels decreased by 17, 28 and 10% in the rostral, medial and caudal aspects of the caudate-putamen, respectively. The data suggest that σ receptor activity, directly or indirectly, affects proenkephalin and protachykinin mRNA expression in striatal neurons. © 1990.
