Abstract
The intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of apomorphine or d-amphetamine significantly increased locomotor activity in Sprague-Dawley rats. Prior administration of the cannabinoid receptor antagonist, SR 141716A, significantly enhanced the stimulant effect of both d-amphetamine and apomorphine in a dose-dependent manner. Administration of SR 141716A alone had no effect on locomotor activity. These data indicate that endogenous cannabinoids exert an inhibitory action on the increase in locomotor activity produced by amphetamine and apomorphine.Entities:
