TABLE 3.

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

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

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.

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.
