We investigated whether stress induces the release of l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) and dopamine from the nucleus accumbens in conscious rats and characterized the stress-induced response. Electrical foot-shock stress induced both DOPA and dopamine release, measured by microdialysis, from the nucleus accumbens in freely moving rats. Pretreatment of rats with mecamylamine completely blocked stress-induced DOPA release, but only partially blocked dopamine release. Diazepam did not affect the foot-shock-induced release of DOPA, while the same dose of diazepam partially blocked the stress-induced release of dopamine. These findings suggest a tonic function of central nicotinic receptors in stress-induced DOPA release from the nucleus accumbens in conscious rats.
