چکیده

in vivo microdialysis was used to study the effects of morphine on glutamate release from the ventral tegmentum area (vta) in freely moving rats. intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of acute and repeated morphine at increasing doses significantly enhanced glutamate release. only a minor tolerance developed to this dosage of morphine. ap-s (2-amino-5-phosphonovaleric acid, 0.5 mg/kg i.p.), a nmda receptor antagonist, given 20 min before each repeated morphine injection, did not have a significant effect on the stimulated glutamate release . conversely, injection of cnqx (6-cyano-7-nitroquinoxaline-2, 3-dione, 0.5 mg/kg i.p.), an ampa receptor antagonist, 20 min before each morphine dose was found to markedly inhibit morphine-induced glutamate release in the vta. in all experiments, glutamate release reduced by time. these results show for the first time that acute and repeated injection of morphine stimulates glutamate release in the conscious rat vta via ampa receptors.

Morphine releases glutamate through AMPA receptors in the ventral tegmental area: a microdialysis study in conscious rats

Drug addiction has developed to a social illness. Changes in glutamate transmission have been recorded by the repeated administration of addictive drugs into VTA. In this investigation, In vivo microdialysis was used to study the effects of morphine on glutamate release from the ventral tegmentum area (VTA) in freely moving rats. Rats were anesthetized with chloral hydrate (350 mg/kg, i.p.) and...

D1 receptors modulate glutamate transmission in the ventral tegmental area.

Perfusion of the D1 agonist, SKF-82958, through a microdialysis probe implanted in the ventral tegmental area produced a dose-dependent increase in extracellular glutamate and GABA. The increase in extracellular glutamate occurred at approximately 30x lower dose than the elevation in GABA. The increase in extracellular glutamate by SKF-82958 was blocked by coperfusion of the D1 antagonist, SCH-...

The Effect of Intra-ventral Tegmental Area Injection of Ghrelin on Morphine-Induced Amnesia in Male Rats: An Experimental Study

Background and Objectives: Extensive evidence shows that morphine impairs cognitive functions. On the other hand, ghrelin is a gastrointestinal hormone that affects learning and memory process. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the effect of intra-ventral tegmental area (VTA) injection of ghrelin on morphine-induced amnesia in male rats. Materials and Methods: In this experiment...

The effect of GABAB receptor activation within the ventral tegmental area on morphine-induced incentive sensitization in female rats

Repeated administration of morphine sensitizes animals to the stimulant and rewarding properties of the drug. It may also alter the expression and function of GABA receptors within the ventral tegmental area (VTA), a midbrain region that is implicated in morphine action. In the present study, the effect of activation of GABAB receptor subtypes within the VTA on morphine-induced incentive sensit...
