Central dopamine D2 receptors regulate plasma glucose levels in mice through autonomic nerves
Scientific Reports, 2020 Recent evidence suggests that the central nervous system (CNS) regulates plasma glucose levels, but the underlying mechanism is unclear. The present study investigated the role of dopaminergic function in the CNS in regulation of plasma glucose levels in

D₂ Dopamine Receptors Colocalize Regulator of G-Protein Signaling 9-2 (RGS9-2) via the RGS9 DEP Domain, and RGS9 Knock-Out Mice Develop Dyskinesias Associated with Dopamine Pathways [PDF]
, 2005 Regulator of G-protein signaling 9-2 (RGS9-2), a member of the RGS family of Gα GTPase accelerating proteins, is expressed specifically in the striatum, which participates in antipsychotic-induced tardive dyskinesia and in levodopa-induced dyskinesia. We

Dopamine Agonists in Parkinson’s Disease [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences / Journal Canadien des Sciences Neurologiques, 1984 ABSTRACTDopamine agonists have yielded two important advances to our understanding of the basal ganglia – they have facilitated the subdivision of different classes of dopamine receptors, and they have established the fact that important dopaminergic effects can be achieved by activation of dopamine receptors in a manner that is unrelated to anoxal ...

Activation of 5-HT 2A Receptor Disrupts Rat Maternal Behavior [PDF]
, 2019 Serotonin 5-HT2A receptor is widely distributed in the central nervous system and plays an important role in sensorimotor function, emotion regulation, motivation, executive control, learning and memory. We investigated its role in rat maternal behavior,

Pergolide Mesilate May Improve Fatigue in Patients with Parkinson’s Disease
Behavioural Neurology, 2002 Objectives: Fatigue is a complaint frequently encountered among patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Considering the possible relationship between fatigue and dopaminergic dysfuncion, we investigated the effect of pergolide mesilate (a D2 and D1 ...
