Previous investigations have shown that the activation of δ-opioid receptors depresses the release of acetylcholine (ACh) in the rat caudate putamen. This finding raised the possibility that the release of ACh is similarly modulated in the globus pallidus, a region containing a distinct population of cholinergic neurons and enriched in enkephalinergic nerve terminals. In the present study the pallidal release of ACh was characterized and the effects of δ-opioid receptor activation on this release were examined. The results show that this release is stimulated by high K+ in a concentration- and Ca2+-dependent manner. D-Pen2,L-Pen5-enkephalin (0.1 – 10 μM), a selective δ-opioid receptor agonist, produced a dose-related inhibition of the 25 mM K+-evoked tritium release. The maximal inhibitory effect, representing a 34% decrease in the K+-induced tritium release, was observed at a concentration of 1 μM. This opioid effect was attenuated by the selective δ-opioid receptor antagonist, ICI 174864 (1 μM). These findings support the role of a δ-opioid receptor in the modulation of ACh release in the rat globus pallidus.Key words: globus pallidus, acetylcholine, enkephalin, release.
