It is well known that the principal mode of inactivation of neurotransmitters such as amino acids and monoamines at central synapses is by an active uptake mechanism[5\09\03\10\16 There is also much evidence that astrocytes possess a high a.nity uptake mechanism for amino acid transmitters2\05\19 and to a lesser extent for monoamines[00\01\08\19\11\15 Recent investigations from our laboratory have shown a di}erence in the uptake pattern of noradrenaline and serotonin by astrocytes in explant cultures and in primary cultures[08 In explant cultures\ where both neurons and glial cells are present\ no uptake of the monoamines by astrocytes was detected\ whereas in primary cultures of rat central nervous system "CNS#\ astrocytes also revealed an active accumulation of 2H!noradrenaline and 2 H!serotonin[08 It was therefore of interest to compare the cellular localization of the uptake of another monoamine 2H!dopamine in explant cultures and in primary astrocyte cultures from various parts of rat CNS by means of autoradiography[ Many antidepressants exert their action by blocking the uptake of noradrenaline and serotonin\ whereas they are ine}ective against dopamine uptake[8\12\14\29 Furthermore\ the thymoleptic com! pound nomifensine "7!amino!1!methyl!3!phenyl!l\1\2\3!tetrahydroisoquinoline hydrogen maleate#\ which blocks the uptake of dopamine by rat brain synaptosomes\ is not speci_c\ since it also inhibits the uptake of noradrenaline to a similar extent[14 The inhibitor GBR 01898 "0!ð1!"diphenyl!methoxy# ethylŁ 3!"2!phenyl!1!propenyl#!piperazine# is a more potent and selective dopamine reuptake inhibi! tor[0\02\18 In the present investigations\ we studied the e}ect of both compounds "nomifensine and GBR 01898# on the uptake of 2H!dopamine by neurons and astrocytes in explant and in primary cultures[
