act(p(HGNC:CHRNA7)) regulates a(CHEBI:dopamine, loc(GO:"extracellular region")) View Subject | View Object

Activation of alpha7 nAChRs is known to contribute to the regulation of extracellular dopamine levels in the rat striatum (81). Application via microdialysis of KYNA or alpha-BGT to the rat striatum significantly reduces the extracellular levels of dopamine, and the magnitude of the effect of either antagonist alone is comparable to that of both antagonists together (285).

For instance, substantial strain-specific variability in nAChR expression has been observed in the striatum (34), retina (227), cerebellum (471), and dorsal hippocampus (164, 165, 167, 169) of mice. PubMed:19126755

a(CHEBI:nicotine) increases sec(a(CHEBI:dopamine)) View Subject | View Object

However, in rodent and nonprimate animal models, nicotine has been shown to enhance striatal dopamine release and to prevent toxin-induced degeneration of dopaminergic neurons (384, 385). PubMed:19126755
