摘要: Publisher Summary Dopamine (DA) is an important central nervous system (CNS) pituitary modulator of prolactin, β -endorphin, and α -MSH secretion. This chapter discusses DA receptors, the pharmacological characteristics anatomical localizations several distinct DA-receptor subtypes delineated through radioligand binding biochemical studies, functions these actions dopaminergic agonists antagonists. Although, receptors are thought to function in CNS, there a great deal yet be understood regarding their biochemical, physiological, behavioral roles. Radioligand-binding studies have proved very useful determining mechanisms involved regulation alteration neuronal activity; however, future investigations may exploit this technique for study neurochemical plasticity. Regulation neurotransmitter hormone-receptor should examined during aging process, because if receptor progressively disturbed, it amenable therapy.
