Abstract excerpt
The D2 dopamine receptor agonist LY 171555 (0.5 to 5 mg/kg) induces dose-dependent catalepsy in C57BL/6, DBA/2 and BALB/c inbred strains of mice. This effect shows marked strain-dependent differences, since the response of C57BL/6 is significantly lower than those presented by the other two inbre...
