Amylin is a peptide of pancreatic origin that has been reported to possess high-affinity binding sites in the brain and to affect central dopaminergic and serotonergic neurotransmission. Administered ICV the peptide induced a dose-dependent decrease of locomotor activity without affecting grooming and sniffing. At a dose of 5 mu g/rat, it antagonized the hypermotility and stereotypies induced by SC injection of amphetamine (2 mg/kg) or of the dopamine receptor agonist, apomorphine (250 mg/kg). Amylin did not change significantly the effect of haloperidol (0.5 mg/kg, SC) on locomotor activity, grooming, and sniffing. Moreover, the peptide did not modify the locomotor behavior of animals injected with the 5-HT2 antagonist, ritanserin (2 mg/kg, SC). These results suggest that amylin may exert motor effects, probably by interfering with central dopaminergic neurotransmission.
