Abstract
The behavioural effect of intrastriatally injected cholecystokinin sulphated octapeptide (CCK-8S), and its interactions with the antagonists Z-CCK-(27-32)NH2 and proglumide, were investigated in mice. When injected into the right striatum, CCK-8S (0.05-1 ng) induced contralateral rotations, as did the dopamine agonist apomorphine. Non-sulphated CCK-8 was inactive and sulphated desamino-CCK-7 was only weakly active in this respect. CCK-8S-induced turning was antagonized by co-injected Z-CCK-(27-32)NH2 (0.01-10 ng) or proglumide (0.1-1 micrograms), as well as by intraperitoneal injection of the neuroleptic drug haloperidol. These data suggest that CCK-8S may, in these conditions, stimulate dopamine-mediated neurotransmission, and that Z-CCK-(27-32)NH2, in addition to its peripheral effect, is also a very potent CCK antagonist at the striatal level.Entities:
