Apomorphine (0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 3 mg/kg, SC), induces a dose-dependent reduction of locomotor activity in DBA/2(DBA) and BALB/c(BALB) mice, while it enhances locomotor activity in a biphasic way in C57BL/6(C57) mice. On the other hand, apomorphine is ineffective in modifying climbing behavior in DBA mice while it increase climbing behavior in C57 and BALB mice. The results, taken together, suggest that these are two different behaviors, possibly controlled by different dopaminergic mechanisms depending on the genetic makeup.

Abstract
Apomorphine (0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 3 mg/kg, SC), induces a dose-dependent reduction of locomotor activity in DBA/2(DBA) and BALB/c(BALB) mice, while it enhances locomotor activity in a biphasic way in C57BL/6(C57) mice. On the other hand, apomorphine is ineffective in modifying climbing behavior in DBA mice while it increase climbing behavior in C57 and BALB mice. The results, taken together, suggest that these are two different behaviors, possibly controlled by different dopaminergic mechanisms depending on the genetic makeup.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
