Abstract
Brain opioid systems modulating basal ganglia function may be involved in the development of neuroleptic-induced orofacial dyskinesias. This study examined changes in mu opioid receptors labeled with [3H]D-Ala2, N-MePhe4, Gly-ol5-enkephalin ([3H]-DAMGO) in 79 different brain regions of rats showing vacuous chewing movements after 21 weeks of treatment with haloperidol decanoate (HAL). Dopamine D2 receptors labeled with [3H]raclopride were also examined in the adjacent sections of the same brains. For brain analyses HAL-treated rats were divided into a group showing high incidence of vacuous chewing movements (VCMs) and a group showing low incidence of VCMs. As expected, long-term HAL resulted in a pronounced elevation of D2 receptors in caudate-putamen, n. accumbens, globus pallidus and olfactory bulbs (range: 27.70% increases) compared to controls. These changes were equal in magnitude in both HAL-treated groups, irrespective of the frequency of VCMs. In HAL-treated rats [3H]DAMGO was significantly decreased in several parts of the basal ganglia, including n. accumbens (-21%, P < 0.01), patchy area of the anterior caudate-putamen (-12%, P < 0.05), ventral pallidum (-27%, P < 0.01) and globus pallidus (-21%, P < 0.02).
