✦ Synopsis
The effects of 14 days neuroleptic treatment on the expression of the D3 dopamine receptor gene was investigated in rats using a sensitive polymerase chain reaction assay. In olfactory tubercle, D3 mRNA levels increased following haloperidol (40%), pimozide (56%), and sulpiride (63%) administration, and in nucleus accumbens, levels increased after haloperidol (50%) and sulpiride (50%). D, expression in the motor striatum did not change with any antagonist tested. Clozapine did not affect D3 expression in any brain region. These data suggest that dopamine antagonists can regulate the expression of the D3 receptor in a brain region selective manner. The findings also suggest

## Abstract The 25‐hydroxyvitamin D~3~‐24‐hydroxylase mRNA is tightly and reciprocally regulated by 1,25‐dihydroxyvitamin D~3~ (1,25(OH)~2~D~3~) and parathyroid hormone (PTH). The upregulation of the 24‐hydroxylase by 1,25(OH)~2~D~3~ is well established and occurs at the transcriptional level throu
L-dopa remains the most common treatment for Parkinson's disease. However, there is considerable interest in D3/D2 receptor agonists such as the novel agent S32504, since they exert antiparkinsonian properties in the absence of dyskinesia. An important question concerns the roles of D2 vs. D3 recept
Dopamine D 1 -receptor binding in the basal ganglia is differentially regulated by subtype nonspecific dopamine antagonists such as the antipsychotic, Fluphenazine. The purpose of the present study was to determine the relative contributions of D 1 and D 2 receptor systems in the regulation of basal
Background. Influence of tamoxifen treatment on estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) levels in human breast cancer has not been fully elucidated in vivo. This problem was studied in 20 postmenopausal patients with ER-positive and PR-positive primary breast cancer. Each patient unde
