Abstract

The effects of the muscarinic agonist carbachol and the D2 dopaminergic agonist quinpirole on phosphoinositide hydrolysis were studied in the corpus striatum of rats which had been treated for one year with either haloperidol or clozapine. In the presence of LiCl, carbachol increased the accumulation of inositol monophosphate (/s>100%) and bisposphate (/s>20%). Quinpirole had no effect on either basal or carbachol-stimulated accumulation of inositol phosphates. There was no difference in these responses between the drug-treated animals and age-matched controls.
