Castration Increases Striatal D-2 Dopamine Receptors in Mid-Life Rats

[摘要] References(10)Cited-By(2)Effect of castration on [3H]-spiperone binding in the striatum of mid-life /mature rats was investigated. Four weeks after castration an increase in D-2 dopamine receptors was noted, and this was partially reduced by testosterone. These results suggest that testosterone may regulate striatal D-2 dopamine receptors in an age-dependent manner.
