Research Progress of PET Molecular Probes Targeting Dopamine D3 Receptor

Journal of Isotopes, 2023
Dopamine D3 receptors are closely related to drug addiction, Parkinson’s disease (PD), schizophrenia and other neuropsychiatric diseases. PET imaging agents that target dopamine D3 receptors can noninvasively show changes in receptor density and status ...

Reciprocal synapses between mushroom body and dopamine neurons form a positive feedback loop required for learning

eLife, 2017
Current thought envisions dopamine neurons conveying the reinforcing effect of the unconditioned stimulus during associative learning to the axons of Drosophila mushroom body Kenyon cells for normal olfactory learning.

Immunolocalization of kappa opioid receptors in the axon initial segment of a group of embryonic mesencephalic dopamine neurons

IBRO Neuroscience Reports, 2022
The dopamine mesolimbic system is a major circuit involved in controlling goal-directed behaviors. Dopamine D2 receptors (D2R) and kappa opioid receptors (KOR) are abundant Gi protein-coupled receptors in the mesolimbic system.

The involvement of GABA-rho receptors in regulating ethanol-induced elevation of dopamine, glycine and taurine within the nucleus accumbens of Wistar rats

Frontiers in Pharmacology
IntroductionAlcohol use disorder (AUD) causes significant morbidity and mortality globally. Ethanol’s rewarding and reinforcing effects are attributed to activation of the mesolimbic dopamine system, increasing accumbal dopamine release. While activation

Actions and Consequences of Insulin in the Striatum

Biomolecules, 2023
Insulin crosses the blood–brain barrier to enter the brain from the periphery. In the brain, insulin has well-established actions in the hypothalamus, as well as at the level of mesolimbic dopamine neurons in the midbrain.

The dopamine D1 receptor is expressed and induces CREB phosphorylation and MUC5AC expression in human airway epithelium

Respiratory Research, 2018
Background Dopamine receptors comprise two subgroups, Gs protein-coupled “D1-like” receptors (D1, D5) and Gi-coupled “D2-like” receptors (D2, D3, D4). In airways, both dopamine D1 and D2 receptors are expressed on airway smooth muscle and regulate airway

Dopamine receptors and organ fibrosis

Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports
Organ fibrosis, considered as a major global health concern, is a pathological condition often occurring after tissue injury in various organs. The pathogenesis of fibrosis involves multiple phases and multiple cell types. Dopamine is involved in various

Pharmacological Evidence That Dopamine Inhibits the Cardioaccelerator Sympathetic Outflow via D2-Like Receptors in Pithed Rats

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2013
It has been suggested that N,N-di-n-propyl-dopamine (dopamine analogue) decreased heart rate in rats through stimulation of dopamine receptors. Nevertheless, the role of prejunctional dopamine D1/2-like receptors or even α2-adrenoceptors to mediate ...
