Mean striatal monoamine content of dopamine, DOPAC, NA, 5-HT and 5-HIAA
| Dopamine (pg·mg−1) | DOPAC (pg·mg−1) | NA (pg·mg−1) | 5-HT (pg·mg−1) | 5-HIAA (pg·mg−1) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Intact striatum | 6748 ± 399 | 3206 ± 401 | 181 ± 48 | 511 ± 26 | 816 ± 64 |
| Lesioned striatum | 117* ± 16 | 84* ± 7 | 69* ± 21 | 404* ± 22 | 916* ± 71 |
Results are presented as mean ± SEM. Striatal tissue (n = 22) was homogenized and monoamine concentrations were determined by HPLC with values expressed as pg of monoamine mg-1 of tissue.
P < 0.05 versus intact striatum.
