We have recently reported that treatment of gonadectomized female and male C57/B1 mice with the gonadal steroid hormone, estrogen, reduced nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurotoxicity resulting from the Parkinson's-like inducing agent

In this report the potassium- (30 mM) and amphetamine- (10 microM) stimulated responses of dopamine (DA) and 3,4-dihydroxy phenylacetic acid (DOPAC) from superfused striatal tissue of female and male mice as sampled at 2, 6, 18 and 24 months of age were compared. When assessed relative to responses obtained from
