To investigate whether prolonged pretreatment with the dopamine (DA) agonist lisuride would result in modification of some of its behavioural effects, food intake, locomotor activity, body temperature or stereotyped and mounting behaviour were evaluated after acute injections of different doses of lisuride into rats, pretreated daily for four weeks with either saline or lisuride. Rats pretreated with lisuride developed tolerance to its anorexigenic and hypothermic effects, and reverse tolerance to its effects on locomotor activity, stereotyped and mounting behaviour. Pretreatment with lisuride did not modify the activity of drug-metabolizing enzymes in the liver. These results, in addition to revealing the pattern of the changes in the behavioural effects of a DA agonist drug, after repeated administration, may be taken as evidence for the existence of different DA receptor systems in different areas of the brain, that mediate different behavioural effects, and that differ markedly in their reactions to prolonged stimulation with an agonist drug.
