## Abstract Both during and after a period of iron deficiency (ID), ironβdependent neural processes are affected, which raises the potential concern that the anemia commonly experienced by many growing infants could have a protracted effect on the developing brain. To further investigate the effect

The effects of a large number of neurotropic drugs have been attributed to changes in the metabolism of 5-hydroxytryptamine. The aromatic amino acid decarboxylase considered to decarboxylate both dihydroxyphenylalanine and 5-hydroxytryptophan requires pyridoxal phosphate as coenzyme. Thus, in pyrido
Levels of monoamine metabolites in three different regions of the rat brain were determined following treatment with piracetam (0.5 and 5g/kg, i.p.). The concentration of prolactin in serum was also measured. Piracetam, at 5 g/kg, increased the levels of dihydroxyphenylacetic acid, homovanillic aci
To determine the quantitative effects of iron deficiency on erythropoiesis and to assess the response of erythroid progenitors to sustained anemia, we developed quantitative assays for various hematopoietic progenitors in the adult, Sprague-Dawley rat including erythroid colony-and burst-forming cel
