| Abstract | Levodopa-induced dyskinesias (LIDs) are abnormal involuntary movements induced by the chronic use of levodopa (l-Dopa) limiting the quality of life of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. We evaluated changes of the serotonin 5-HT(2A) receptors in control monkeys, in 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-lesioned monkeys and in l-Dopa-treated MPTP monkeys, without or with adjunct treatments to inhibit the expression of LID: CI-1041, a selective NR1A/2B subunit antagonist of glutamate N-methyl-d-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptor, or Cabergoline, a long-acting dopamine D(2) receptor agonist. All treatments were administered for 1 month and animals were killed 24 h after the last dose of l-Dopa. Striatal concentrations of serotonin were decreased in all MPTP monkeys investigated, as measured by high-performance liquid chromatography. [(3) H]Ketanserin-specific binding to 5-HT(2A) receptors was measured by autoradiography. l-Dopa treatment that induced dyskinesias increased 5-HT(2A) receptor-specific binding in the caudate nucleus and the anterior cingulate gyrus (AcgG) compared with control monkeys. Moreover, [(3) H]Ketanserin-specific binding was increased in the dorsomedial caudate nucleus in l-Dopa-treated MPTP monkeys compared with saline-treated MPTP monkeys. Nondyskinetic monkeys treated with CI-1041 or Cabergoline showed low 5-HT(2A) -specific binding in the posterior dorsomedial caudate nucleus and the anterior AcgG compared with dyskinetic monkeys. No significant difference in 5-HT(2A) receptor binding was observed in any brain regions examined in saline-treated MPTP monkeys compared with control monkeys. These results confirm the involvement of serotonergic pathways and the glutamate/serotonin interactions in LID. They also support targeting 5-HT(2A) receptors as a potential treatment for LID. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
