The levels of extracellular striatal dopamine and glutamate were measured simultaneously in halothane-anaesthetized rats using microdialysis. Unilateral injections of substance P (0.07 nmol) into the substantia nigra, pars reticulata enhanced the levels of dopamine and glutamate in the ipsilateral striatum. Intranigral injections of neurokinin A (0.09 nmol) enhanced the levels of striatal dopamine, and intranigral injections of gamma-aminobutyric acid (300 nmol) or dynorphin A (0.5 nmol) decreased the levels of striatal dopamine, but none of these had any effect on the levels of striatal glutamate. Local perfusion with the dopamine agonists apomorphine (D1/D2), SKF 38393 (D1) or pergolide (D2) (each at 10(5) M) decreased the levels of striatal dopamine and enhanced the levels of striatal glutamate. In unilateral 6-hydroxydopamine-lesioned rats, basal striatal glutamate levels were decreased bilaterally. Furthermore, on the denervated side intranigral substance P stimulation of striatal glutamate levels was enhanced, while on the intact side intranigral substance P stimulation of striatal dopamine and glutamate levels was similar to that seen in normal rats. These findings suggest that striatonigral substance P provides a stimulatory regulation of ipsilateral striatal glutamate release. Furthermore, it is indicated that striatal glutamate release can also be regulated by dopamine terminals.
