  • Title: The neurotensin receptor antagonist SR 48692 decreases extracellular striatal GABA in rats.
    Author: Chapman MA, See RE.
    Journal: Brain Res; 1996 Aug 05; 729(1):124-6. PubMed ID: 8874884.
    Abstract:
    Intracranial microdialysis was utilized to assess the effects of the novel neurotensin antagonist SR 48692 on extracellular gamma-amino-butyric acid (GABA) and glycine in the striatum. Subcutaneous injection of SR 48692 (0.2 mg/kg) significantly decreased extracellular striatal GABA levels, with peak decreases occurring 2-3 h post-injection. Injection of SR 48692 had no significant effect on glycine levels. These data suggest that endogenous neurotensin may modulate striatal GABA levels.
