Physiological release of striatal acetylcholine (in vivo): effect of somatostatin on dopaminergic-cholinergic interaction.

The effects of somatostatin (SOM) on the release of acetylcholine (ACh) and dopamine (DA) from striatum of freely moving rats were studied by transversal microdialysis. Acetylcholine (ACh) and dopamine (DA) were detected by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with electrochemical detection. Somatostatin (0.

The non-competitive AMPA receptor antagonist (GYKI 52466) blocks quisqualate-induced acetylcholine release from the rat hippocampus and striatum: an in vivo microdialysis study.

The effects of the non-N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) agonist quisqualate (QUIS) and selective AMPA/kainate receptor antagonist 1-(aminophenyl)-methyl-7, 8-methyilendioxy-5H-2,3-benzodiazepine (GYKI 52466) on the release of acetylcholine (ACh) from the hippocampus and striatum of freely moving rats were studied by transversal microdialysis. Acetylcholine level in the dialisate was measured by the high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method with an electrochemical detector. The QUIS (100 microM) perfused through the striatum induced an increase of extracellular ACh level (250%) which lasted for over 1h and gradually returned to basal values.

Somatostatin stimulates striatal acetylcholine release by glutamatergic receptors: an in vivo microdialysis study.

The modulation of striatal cholinergic neurons by somatostatin (SOM) was studied by measuring the release of acetylcholine (ACh) in the striatum of freely moving rats. The samples were collected via a transversal microdialysis probe. ACh level in the dialysate was measured by the high performance liquid chromatography method with an electrochemical detector.
