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…

Since estrogen exerts wide ranging effects within the central nervous system, it is important to investigate the sites and actions of this gonadal steroid hormone at extra-hypothalamic locations. In the present report, the effects of estrogen upon…

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.…
