Concentrations of histamine in the hypothalamus of the rat: effect of extraction volume and interpretation of the effects of acutely-administered morphine.

abstract：:The group II metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) antagonists LY341495 and LY366457 were profiled for their effects on locomotor activity in mice. Both compounds significantly increased locomotor activity. Observational studies showed that rearing was also selectively increased. LY366457-induced hyperactivity was s...
