Given the existence of functional interactions between opioidergic and dopaminergic systems, we have analyzed by quantitative autoradiography the possible long-term adaptive changes in the expression of D(1)- and D(2)-like dopamine receptors in the brains of mice lacking the micro-opioid receptor gene. An overall significant increase in D(1) and D(2) receptors (7.4 and 12.6%, respectively) across all cerebral regions examined was obtained in mutant mice relative to wild-type mice. However, region by region comparisons failed to reach significance in any individual brain area. These results indicate that only moderate changes in D(1)- and D(2)-like dopamine receptors densities occur in the brains of micro-opioid receptor knockout mice.
