摘要
Bilateral infusion of dl-2-amino-5-phosphonovalerate (dl-APV) (which is a competitive antagonist for N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor) into the medial frontal cortex of conscious rats increased the amount of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) and the DOPAC/dopamine (DA) ratio in the cortical area. Moreover, intra-prefrontal injection of dl-APV, d-APV, dl-2-amino-7-phosphonoheptanoate and 3-[(±)-2-carboxypiperazin-4-yl]-propyl-1-phosphonate (which are selective NMDA receptor antagonists), but not the l-isomer of APV and γ-glutamyl-aminomethyl sulphonate (a relative antagonist for non-NMDA receptors), facilitated prefrontal DA utilization in a NMDA-reversible manner. These findings suggest that NMDA-type excitatory amino acid receptors may be involved in a tonic inhibitory regulation of dopaminergic transmission in the medial frontal cortex in vivo. © 1990.
