The aim of the study was to examine the influence of the blockade of group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) on the haloperidol-induced catalepsy and proenkephalin mRNA expression in the rat striatum. Bilateral, intrastriatal injection of AIDA ((RS)-1-aminoindan-1,5-dicarboxylic acid, 3–15 μg/0.5 μl), a selective antagonist of group I mGluRs, inhibited catalepsy induced by haloperidol (0.5 mg/kg i.p.). Repeated intrastriatal AIDA administrations (3×15 μg/0.5 μl, 3 h apart) counteracted the haloperidol-induced (3×1.5 mg/kg s.c., 3 h apart) increase in the proenkephalin mRNA expression in that structure. The present study indicates that the blockade of the striatal group I mGluRs may inhibit parkinsonian akinesia by normalizing the function of the striopallidal pathway.
