Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
D1 receptor agonist, SKF-38393 hydrochloride, purchased from Sigma (D-047, Sigma Chemical Co., USA) and D1 receptor antagonist, SCH-23390, purchased from Sigma (D-054, Sigma Chemical Co., USA) were dissolved in sterile saline (0.9%). The estrogen 17β-E2, purchased from Sigma (E-8875, Sigma Chemical Co., USA), was dissolved in sterile sesame oil. All solutions were freshly prepared before each experimental series. Rats received SKF-38393 in dose of 0.1 mg/kg, i.p., SCH-23390 in dose of 0.1 mg/kg, i.p., and 17β-E2 in dose of 5.0 μkg/rat, s.c. All preparations were chronically injected for 14 days once daily. Drugs were administered in 2 weeks after postoperative period following ovariectomy. Saline was injected i.p. to control 1 (intact rats) with the same procedure. Control 2 (OVX rats) received oil solvent injection in the same volume. All animals were gently handled by experienced keepers from the facility each day for a week prior to experimental procedures. Any environmental or physical stress was avoided in order to habituate the rats to manipulation. Rats subjected to drug or saline administration received an injection volume of 0.1 mL. All behavioral experiments were carried out in 45 min after the last injection of drug.

Drugs were applied in the perfusion medium or locally via a micropipette using a Picospritzer (General Valve, Fairfield, NJ), at 20 psi / 30 – 100 ms, at 0.1 Hz. Cobalt chloride, nimodipine, flufenamic acid, SCH-23390 hydrochloride, SKF-38393 hydrochloride, dopamine, choline bicarbonate and amphetamine were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich and tetrodotoxin (TTX), carbamylcholine chloride (carbachol), mecamylamine hydrochloride (MEC), Dihydro-β-erythroidine hydrobromide (DHβE) and methyllycaconitine citrate (MLA) were purchased from Tocris. Cobalt chloride was prepared as an equimolar substitute for sucrose in modified Ringer’s solution. nimodipine and flufenamic acid were dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide. All other drugs were dissolved freshly in Ringer’s solution.

Intracerebral Infusions for Behavioral Studies

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Infusions were delivered through an injector cannula extending 1 mm beyond the tip of the guide cannula. The volume infused was 1 μl per side and the infusion rate was 0.5 μl/min. The injector was left in place for an additional minute after infusion to allow diffusion and to prevent reflux. Doses were as follow: emetine 50 μg/μl, muscimol 0.1 μg/μl, SCH23390 hydrochloride 1.5 μg/μl or SKF38393 hydrochloride 12.5 μg/μl (Sigma Aldrich, St Louis, MO). Drugs were dissolved in sterile 0.9% saline, except for SKF38393 hydrochloride which was dissolved in 10% DMSO. The doses utilized were determined based on previous studies showing the effect of each compound on learning or behavioral performance (Majchrzak and Di Scala, 2000 (link); Lima et al., 2009 (link); Kramar et al., 2014 (link)).

The D1/D5 receptor agonist SKF‐38393 hydrochloride [(±)‐1‐Phenyl‐2,3,4,5‐ tetrahydro‐(1H)‐3‐benzazepine‐7,8‐diol hydrochloride] (SKF; #D047; Sigma‐Aldrich, Singapore) was stored at −20 °C as a 50‐mm stock in deionised water. The stocks were used within a week. The Zn2+ chelator TPEN [N,N,N′,N′‐Tetrakis (2‐pyridylmethyl) ethylenediamine] (Tocris Bioscience, Bristol, UK) was stored as a 25‐mm stock in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) at −20 °C. Emetine dihydrochloride hydrate (Sigma‐Aldrich, Singapore) and d‐2‐amino‐5‐phosphonopentanoic acid (AP‐5) (Tocris Bioscience, Bristol, UK) were prepared as concentrated stock solutions in DMSO and were diluted in ACSF to obtain a final concentration of 20 and 50 μm, respectively. Light‐sensitive drugs were protected from light during storage and bath application. Prior to application, the drug stocks were diluted to the final concentration in ACSF, equilibrated with carbogen, and bath‐applied for specified durations. Whenever the stocks are prepared in DMSO, the final DMSO concentration was kept below 0.1%, a concentration which has been shown to not affect basal synaptic responses (Navakkode et al., 2005).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
