## Abstract Administration of the neurotoxicant 1βmethylβ4βphenylβ1,2,3,6βtetrahydropyridine (MPTP) to C57BL/6 mice targets nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons, leading to cell death and the depletion of striatal dopamine. After MPTP lesioning in young adult mice, surviving nigrostriatal dopaminergi
## Abstract Sixty percent of the dopamine Ξ²βhydroxylase (DBH) (EC 1.14.2.1) activity in rat brain was found to be bound to membrane fractions. The additions of Triton Xβ100 solubilized DBH completely and permitted the estimated of the total enzyme activity. In homogenates the DBH could be detected
