title: Effects of chronic methamphetamine treatment on the binding parameters of [3H]SCH 23390, a selective D1-dopamine receptor ligand, in the rat brain.
abstract: Following the determination of the binding characteristics of [3H]SCH 23390 using slide-mounted tissue sections of molded minced forebrain, the effects of chronic methamphetamine (MAP) treatment (at a dose of 4 mg/kg for 14 days) on D1 receptors in the rat brain were studied using quantitative receptor autoradiography. There were no differences in both Kd(app) and Bmax values between vehicle- and MAP-treated rats, indicating that D1 receptors might not be involved in the development of behavioral sensitization in chronically MAP-treated rats.
