Striatal dopamine and its metabolites were studied in rats given lithium chloride in the diet. Results showed an increase in homovanillic acid and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid levels but no significant change in dopamine concentration after 3 weeks of lithium administration. There was no change in

In vivo voltammetric measurements of striatal extracellular DOPAC concentrations and of striatal DA release in combination with post-mortem analysis of striatal catechols were performed in the rat to study the effects on the nigro-striatal neurons of a Chinese neuroleptic, ltetrahydropalmatine (/-TH
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) may be utilized for the synthesis and regeneration of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH 4 ), which in turn is an essential cofactor for tyrosine hydroxylase, the rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of dopamine (DA). NADH has been reported to relieve some of the sympt
