Dopamine agonist-induced yawning in rats: a dopamine D3 receptor-mediated behavior.
A specific role for the dopamine D3 receptor in behavior has yet to be elucidated. We now report that dopamine D2/D3 agonists elicit dose-dependent yawning behavior in rats, resulting in an inverted U-shaped dose-response curve. A series of experiments was directed toward the hypothesis that the induction of yawning is a D3 receptor-mediated effect, whereas the inhibition of the yawning observe...
متن کاملP139: Role of Dopamine Receptor D3 in Depression and Anxiety
Dopamine (DA) is one of the main catecholamines in the brain and is crucial for movement coordination, endocrine function, reward, mood, memory and emotions. The dopaminergic system is the primary therapeutic target in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease (PD), drug addiction and schizophrenia. Notwithstanding, dysfunction of central dopaminergic neurotransmission has also been associated to de...

متن کاملAnxiolytic- and antidepressant-like effects of 7-OH-DPAT, preferential dopamine D3 receptor agonist, in rats.
The aim of the present study was to examine a potential anxiolytic- and antidepressant-like action of (+)-7-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin hydrobromide (7-OH-DPAT), a preferential dopamine D(3) receptor agonist, and N-{4-[4-(2-methoxyphenyl)-1-piperazinyl]butyl}-2-naphthylcarboxamide (BP 897), a partial dopamine D(3) receptor agonist, in male Wistar rats. Diazepam or imipramine were used ...
متن کاملA pivotal role of FOS-mediated BECN1/Beclin 1 upregulation in dopamine D2 and D3 receptor agonist-induced autophagy activation.
Autophagy dysfunction is implicated in the pathogenesis of Parkinson disease (PD). BECN1/Beclin 1 acts as a critical regulator of autophagy and other cellular processes; yet, little is known about the function and regulation of BECN1 in PD. In this study, we report that dopamine D2 and D3 receptor (DRD2 and DRD3) activation by pramipexole and quinpirole could enhance BECN1 transcription and pro...
