Abstract

Both spontaneous and K+-stimulated taurine release from rat striatal slices were affected by dopamine and apomorphine, suggesting that dopaminergic systems are able to modulate taurine release. K+-stimulated dopamine release was potentiated by taurine, which effect may not involve dopamine autoreceptors. Taurine was able to inhibit spiperone binding to striatal membranes in a uncompetitive manner and thus interfere with the function of dopaminergic receptors.
