We have previously shown that tracer concentrations of [llC]cocaine binding to the dopamine transporter (DAT) in human and baboon striatum can be visualized using positron emission tomography (PET). To determine whether the concentration of dopamine normally present in the synaptic cleft can compete
Rotating disk electrode voltammetry was used to measure the timeresolved inward transport of dopamine into human embryonic kidney cells expressing the human transporter for dopamine and a kinetic mechanism of transport is hypothesized. Dopamine transport in this preparation was highly concentrative,
