Terguride stimulates locomotor activity at 2 months but not 10 months after 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine treatment of common marmosets [PDF]
The mixed dopamine (DA) agonist/antagonist terguride acts as a DA antagonist on normosensitive receptors but shows DA agonistic properties at supersensitive DA receptors.

Enhanced self-administration of the CB1 receptor agonist WIN55,212-2 in olfactory bulbectomized rats: evaluation of possible serotonergic and dopaminergic underlying mechanisms [PDF]
Depression has been associated with drug consumption, including heavy or problematic cannabis use. According to an animal model of depression and substance use disorder comorbidity, we combined the olfactory bulbectomy (OBX) model of depression with ...

Dopamine-D1 and δ-opioid receptors co-exist in rat striatal neurons [PDF]
Cocaine’s enhancement of dopaminergic neurotransmission in the mesolimbic pathway plays a critical role in the initial reinforcing properties of this drug. However, other neurotransmitter systems are also integral to the addiction process.

Prevention of OHSS – dopamine agonists
Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is in iatrogenic complication of ovulation induction, which may seriously affect the patient's health, with 0.1-2.0% of the patients developing severe forms of the syndrome. OHSS signs and symptoms are direct consequences of fluid shift from capillaries to the third space due to increased vascular permeability ...

Resistant prolactinoma: Is it monoclonal or polyclonal?
Prolactinomas are solitary benign neoplasms and resistance to dopamine agonists occur in a small percentage of prolactinomas. Multiple pituitary adenomas are reported in less than 1% of pituitary adenomas and rarely result in resistant prolactinoma.

Resistance to Dopamine Agonists in Pituitary Tumors: Molecular Mechanisms
Pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNET) are commonly benign tumors accounting for 10-25% of intracranial tumors. Prolactin-secreting adenomas represent the most predominant type of all PitNET and for this subtype of tumors, the medical therapy relies on

Serotonin system implication in L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia: from animal models to clinical investigations [PDF]
In the recent years, the serotonin system has emerged as a key player in the induction of l-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID) in animal models of Parkinson's disease. In fact, serotonin neurons possess the enzymatic machinery able to convert exogenous l-DOPA
