Abstract excerpt
Adenosine receptors modulate dopaminergic function by regulating dopamine release in presynaptic neurons and intracellular signaling in postsynaptic striatal neurons. To investigate how adenosine impinges on the action of dopamine in feeding and locomotion, genetically altered, dopamine-deficient mice were treated with adenosine receptor antagonists. Acute administration of the nonselective adenosine receptor...
