The effect of methamphetamine (MAP) on ambulatory activity and neurochemical changes in catecholaminergic neurons in the brain were investigated in dd and C57BL/6 strains of male mice. The mice were given repeatedly MAP at 2 mg/kg, s.c., 10 times at a fixed interval of 4 days. Single MAP markedly increased the ambulatory activity in both strains of mice. The ambulation-increasing effect was progressively enhanced without accompanying stereotyped behaviors when the drug was repeatedly given. The dd mice showed higher susceptibility not only to single MAP but also to the enhancing effect of the drug (reverse tolerance) than the C57BL/6 mice. On the other hand, non-treated dd mice exhibited lower maximum densities of <SUP>3</SUP>H-spiperone binding sites in the striatum and <SUP>3</SUP>H-WB4101 binding sites in the cortex and hippocampus than nontreated C57BL/6 mice. In contrast, the dd mice exhibited higher noradrenaline turnover than the C57BL/6 mice in the brain regions examined. The repeated administration of MAP produced decrease in the densities of both <SUP>3</SUP>H-spiperone and <SUP>3</SUP>H-WB4101 binding sites in the corresponding regions with increase in catecholamine turnover in dd mice. However, the similar changes were observed only in <SUP>3</SUP>H-WB4101 binding sites and noradrenaline turnover in C57BL/6 mice. These results suggest that the ambulation-increasing effect of MAP is positively correlated with catecholamine turnover, while it was correlated negatively with the densities of catecholamine binding sites. Furthermore, the enhancing effect of MAP is supposed to have been partially elicited by changes in brain catecholaminergic systems, in particular an increase in catecholamine turnover. Strain difference in the enhancing effect of MAP may be partially caused by different regional sensitivity to the drug.
