DA and its metabolites were measured in the Fcx and hippocampus using HPLC. The data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and a post hoc Duncan’s MRT. The results are shown as the means ± SEM. N = 8–10 rats per group

*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001 indicate significant changes compared to the control; #p < 0.05; ##p < 0.01; ###p < 0.001 indicate significant changes compared to the model (MK-801) group
