Different dopamine D1 and D2 receptors expression after motor activity in the striatal critical period
Circling training during rat striatum postnatal critical period (PN30 to 37 days) induces a life-lasting co-reduction of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChR) and dopamine D2 receptors (D2R) binding. Here, we evaluated the expression of D1R and D2R under similar experimental conditions. Trained...

| Sumario: | Circling training during rat striatum postnatal critical period (PN30 to 37 days) induces a life-lasting co-reduction of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChR) and dopamine D2 receptors (D2R) binding. Here, we evaluated the expression of D1R and D2R under similar experimental conditions. Trained rats showed a decrease of 40% in D2R binding sites (p<0.01) and of 45% in the D2R mRNA expression which involve short (p<0.05) and long (p<0.01) isoforms. In contrast, D1R binding sites nor its mRNA expression levels were affected by training, indicating a differential synaptic refinement during this ontogenetically fixed period. © 2004 Elsevier B.V.
