title: [Presynaptic regulation of dopamine release by beta-phenylethylamine].
abstract: Experiments with local perfusion of the rat neostriatum and subsequent chromatography of the perfusate have shown that addition of beta-phenylethylamine (beta-PEA) to the perfusion medium in a concentration of 10(-3) M enhanced spontaneous and inhibited the K+-induced release of 3H-dopamine preliminarily applied to the neostriatum. The stimulating effect of beta-PEA was Ca2+-dependent and was potentiated in sodium-free media. The inhibitory effect of beta-PEA on the K+-induced release of 3H-DA was abolished by haloperidol, a blocker of dopamine receptors. This fact allows one to suggest that this effect of beta-PEA is mediated by presynaptic dopamine autoreceptors. The data obtained indicate that beta-PEA can modulate the dopaminergic synaptic transmission depending on functional activity of dopaminergic neurons.
