Abstract：
:In three experiments, rats were injected once daily with 5.0 mg/kg apomorphine or vehicle and tested for locomotor activity for 10-14 days. In each experiment, apomorphine produced behavioral sensitization, characterized by a progressively greater increase in locomotor activity with each succeeding injection. On day 11 of testing, in an experiment designed to assess the synthesis of dopamine (DA), rats were injected with 5.0 mg/kg apomorphine or vehicle, followed by 100 mg/kg NSD-1015, an inhibitor of the enzyme l-aromatic amino acid decarboxylase. After administration of NSD-1015, concentrations of dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) were determined in striatal and mesolimbic tissues by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with electrochemical detection. The results revealed a significant decrease in accumulation of DOPA in both striatal and mesolimbic tissue after acute treatment with apomorphine. More important, chronic treatment with apomorphine produced a significant increase in accumulation of DOPA in both areas. In subsequent experiments, rats on day 14 of testing were sacrificed for determination of levels of DA, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) or specific binding of [3H]spiperone in the striatum and mesolimbic region. Although levels of DOPAC were significantly reduced in the regions of the brain after an acute injection of apomorphine, chronic treatment with apomorphine did not significantly affect levels of DA, DOPAC or specific binding of [3H]spiperone. These findings suggest that the development of behavioral sensitization to apomorphine may be related to an alteration in the synthesis of DA.
