title: Chronic proglumide increases [3H]spiperone binding in the rat brain.
abstract: The cholecystokinin (CCK) antagonist, proglumide, administered chronically (41.0-53.5 mg/kg per day, 14 days) to rats via osmotic mini-pumps, produced a significant 13% increase in the number of [3H]spiperone labeled binding sites (Bmax) in the striatum. There was no associated change in the affinity (Kd) of [3H]spiperone for the striatal binding sites. Given chronically at lower dose levels (10.4-13.6 or 21.8-29.8 mg/kg per day), or acutely in doses of 10, 20 or 40 mg/kg s.c., proglumide failed to alter the binding of [3H]spiperone to rat striatal tissue. These data indicate long-term proglumide administration increases the number of binding sites for [3H]spiperone, thought to be a ligand for dopamine D-2 receptors.
