The influx of [3H]phenylalanine, [3H]tyrosine and [3H]tryptophan into brain cells was studied using brain slices from adult rats. Each aromatic amino acid inhibited the influx of the others into the brain cells. Tryptophan inhibited non-competitively the influx of phenylalanine, and phenylalanine si

The effect of aging on aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AAAD) activity in rhesus monkey striatum was assessed in vivo using PET imaging. Two analogs of L-DOPA, 6-fluoro-m-tyrosine (FMT) and 6-fluoro-L-DOPA (FDOPA), were used to image rhesus monkeys of various ages. Results show that when the ani
Pregnant rats were treated for five consecutive days during gestation with s.c. injections of the ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) inhibitor alpha-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO). Treatment beginning at gestational days 13 or 14 was effective in inhibiting ODC and altering polyamine levels, and resulted
## Abstract The incorporation of [^3^H]phenylalanine, [^3^H]tyrosine, and [^3^H]tryptophan into protein and amino acylβtRNA was studied in cellβfree preparations from rat brain. Tyrosine and tryptophan inhibited the incorporation of phenylalanine into protein, and tyrosine inhibited the incorporati
The present study examined the effects of the antiparkinsonian drug budipine on dopamine synthesis and release from L-DOPA in the substantia nigra of reserpine-treated rats. Budipine (at 100 microM, but not 10 microM) applied by reverse dialysis to the nigra caused a small and significant rise in do
