Dopamine D2 receptors and the circadian clock reciprocally mediate antipsychotic drug-induced metabolic disturbances

npj Schizophrenia, 2017
Antipsychotic drugs are widely prescribed medications, used for numerous psychiatric illnesses. However, antipsychotic drugs cause serious metabolic side effects that can lead to substantial weight gain and increased risk for type 2 diabetes.

An Increase in Peripheral Temperature following Cocaine Administration Is Mediated through Activation of Dopamine D2 Receptor in Rats

Life, 2022
Drug addiction has become a worldwide problem, affecting millions of people across the globe. While the majority of mechanistic studies on drug addiction have been focused on the central nervous system, including the mesolimbic dopamine system, the ...

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 ...

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

Inhibition of Phosphodiesterase 10A by MP‐10 Rescues Behavioral Deficits and Normalizes Microglial Morphology and Synaptic Pruning in A Mouse Model of FOXP1 Syndrome

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We demonstrate that Foxp1± mice, modeling FOXP1 haploinsufficiency, exhibit behavioral deficits, striatal neuroinflammatory changes including altered microglial complexity and synaptic pruning, and markedly reduced Pde10a expression. Pde10a inhibition starting immediately after birth restores Foxp1± behavior, microglial morphology, and pruning ...

Weight Cycling Deregulates Eating Behavior in Mice via the Induction of Durable Gut Dysbiosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Weight cycling in Humans is suspected to dysregulate eating behavior. Mice submitted to body weight cycling by alternating western‐type and regular chow diets display increased hedonic appetite when exposed to a palatable diet, reminiscent of binge‐eating episodes.

D2 dopamine receptor subtype-mediated hyperactivity and amphetamine responses in a model of ADHD

Neurobiology of Disease, 2010
Low doses of psychostimulants produce beneficial behavioral effects in ADHD patients but the mechanisms underlying the response are not understood. Here we use the hyperactive mouse mutant coloboma to identify D2-like dopamine receptor subtypes that ...

Distinct roles of presynaptic dopamine receptors in the differential modulation of the intrinsic synapses of medium-spiny neurons in the nucleus accumbens

BMC Neuroscience, 2007
Background In both schizophrenia and addiction, pathological changes in dopamine release appear to induce alterations in the circuitry of the nucleus accumbens that affect coordinated thought and motivation. Dopamine acts principally on medium-spiny GABA
