1 We found that the selective antagonist of the mGluR5 subtype MPEP in a dose of 5 mg/kg diminished basal and veratridine (100 microM)-stimulated dopamine release in rat striatum in an in vivo model of microdialysis. 6-methyl-2-(phenylethynyl)pyridine glutamate receptor, ionotropic, kainate 1 Mus musculus
2 It is concluded that the MPEP-produced blockade of mGluR5 situated on dopaminergic cells, or the suppression of glutamate release in the subthalamic nucleus or substantia nigra pars reticulata may directly and indirectly cause a decrease in striatal dopamine release. 6-methyl-2-(phenylethynyl)pyridine glutamate receptor, ionotropic, kainate 1 Mus musculus
