TABLE 3.

MPD administration alters DA content in the cytoplasmic and membrane-associated vesicle subcellular fractions.a

DA contentb
saline MPD
cytoplasmic vesicles 15.0 ± 0.7 46 ± 2*
membrane-associated vesicles 42 ± 2 81 ± 2*
whole striatum 8826 ± 1312 9240 ± 621
a

Rats received a single administration of MPD (40 mg/kg, s.c.) or saline vehicle (1 ml/kg, s.c.) and were killed 1 h later.

b

Mean ± SEM of DA content in units of ng of DA/striatal g wet weight, N = 6.

*

Indicates a statistical difference, P < 0.05 via a t-test, between saline and MPD-treated groups.
