The present study was undertaken to examine the role of dopamine D2-receptors in the regulation of neurotensin release. Through a modification of the methods described by Maidment et al. (Neuroscience, 45 (1991) 81-93), we have developed a highly reproducible method of measuring changes in extracellular NT in the striatum and nucleus accumbens by in vivo microdialysis in awake animals. It was observed that calcium-dependent release of NT was evoked in both structures by infusing a high concentration of potassium. In addition, systemic administration of the D2 agonist quinpirole (5 mg/kg) induced a rapid increase of approximately 200% in extracellular NT levels in the lateral caudate and 30-40% in the nucleus accumbens. Conversely, treatment with the D2 antagonist eticlopride (0.5 mg/kg) reduced extracellular NT in the medial anterior caudate and nucleus accumbens 20-30%, but had no effect in the lateral anterior caudate. These data demonstrate for the first time that D2-receptors are important in the dopaminergic regulation of extrapyramidal and limbic NT release in conscious animals.
