Sweet Dopamine: Sucrose Preferences Relate Differentially to Striatal D2 Receptor Binding and Age in Obesity
Alterations in dopaminergic circuitry play a critical role in food reward and may contribute to susceptibility to obesity. Ingestion of sweets releases dopamine in striatum, and both sweet preferences and striatal D2 receptors (D2R) decline with age and may be altered in obesity. Understanding the relationships between these variables and the impact of obesity on these relationships may reveal ...
متن کاملCorrelation between striatal dopamine D2/D3 receptor binding and cardiovascular activity in healthy subjects.
BACKGROUND The relationship between the striatal dopaminergic system and cardiovascular activity is not well known. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between striatal D2/D3 receptor binding and cardiovascular activity. METHODS The striatal D2/D3 receptor binding of 34 healthy volunteers was assessed by the single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging metho...
متن کاملThe correlation between striatal dopamine D2/D3 receptor availability and verbal intelligence quotient in healthy volunteers.
BACKGROUND Although a correlation between the central dopaminergic system and intelligence may exist, the results from imaging studies remain inconclusive. The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between striatal dopamine D2/D3 receptor availability and verbal intelligence quotient (VIQ) using single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). METHOD Striatal D2/D3 receptor ava...
متن کاملUltrastructural localization of D2 receptor-like immunoreactivity in midbrain dopamine neurons and their striatal targets.
Potential cellular substrates for functions ascribed to the dopamine D2 receptor were examined in rat brain using immunoperoxidase for localization of a D2 receptor peptide and immunogold staining for the catecholamine biosynthetic enzyme tyrosine hydroxylase (TH). Specificity of the rat polyclonal antiserum, raised against a 15 amino acid fragment from the third intracellular loop of the D2 re...
متن کاملStriatal dopamine (D2) receptor availability predicts socially desirable responding.
Research in non-human primates has implicated striatal dopamine (D2) receptor function in the expression of social dominance--a fundamental component of social extraversion. We predicted that trait extraversion - indexed by the revised Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ-R) - would correlate with striatal DA (D2) receptor measures - indexed by [(11)C]-Raclopride binding potential (BP) - in 2...
