A series of experiments investigated the involvement of the dopamine D1 receptor subtype in relation to feeding responses. The selective D1 agonists, SK&F 38393 (1.0-20 mg/kg) and SK&F 75760 (5 mg/kg), significantly reduced palatable food consumption in nondeprived rats. The anorectic effect of SK&F 38393 (10 mg/kg) was additive with that of the selective D2 receptor agonist, N-0437 (0.3 mg/kg). In nondeprived mice, SK&F 38393 had a stereoselective effect to reduce palatable food intake. At a peripherally-selective dose (3.0 mg/kg), the peripheral dopamine D1 receptor agonist, fenoldopam, had no effect on food intake. At 10 mg/kg, however, it exhibited anorectic properties, although this may have been due to some penetration of the blood-brain barrier. In rats adapted to a food-deprivation schedule, SK&F 38393 (3.0-30 mg/kg) produced significant dose-dependent reductions in consumption of powdered chow and in lever-pressing for food pellets on a FR8 schedule of reinforcement. In rats adapted to a water-deprivation schedule, SK&F 38393 (3.0-30 mg/kg) was substantially less effective in reducing water intake. The results are discussed in terms of a possible selective effect of D1 agonist activity on feeding behaviour.
