In an effort to identify novel binding sites for cocaine and its analogs, we carried out binding studies with the high-affinity and selective ligand [125I]RTI-121 in rat frontal cortical tissue. Very low densities of binding sites were found.…
Striatal synaptosomes from ovariectomized rats were prepared to examine the effect of 17beta-estradiol on [3H]dopamine uptake. Estradiol inhibited [3H]dopamine uptake in a dose-dependent manner, with an IC50 of 7.2 microM. Use of identical…
