PG - 315-20 AB - H-Phe-Ile-Tyr-His-Ser-Tyr-Lys-OH after intracerebroventricular (icv.) administration inhibited the extinction of active avoidance behaviour for a short period. The dopamine receptor blocker haloperidol completely blocked this effect of the heptapeptide, while the muscarinic anticholinergic agent atropine only partly inhibited it. The alpha 1-receptor blocker phenoxybenzamine and the beta-receptor blocker propranolol did not significantly influence the extinction inhibition induced by the peptide. These results suggest that the dopaminergic and, in part the cholinergic system, play important roles in this behavioural action of H-Phe-Ile-Tyr-Ser-Tyr-Lys-OH.
