Male retired breeder C57/Bl and CD-1 mice were treated with either MPTP or its vehicle. At 7-10 days post-treatment, catecholamine concentrations within the olfactory bulbs (OB) and hypothalamus were determined. Norepinephrine concentrations within…
In this report the olfactory bulbs (OB) were removed from 5-6 month, 15-16 month and 25-26 month male Fischer 344 rats and assayed for concentrations of monoamines and their metabolites using HPLC-EC. Concentrations of norepinephrine were…
Concentrations and in vitro release of norepinephrine were determined from left and right olfactory bulbs of adult male CD-1 mice. Norepinephrine concentrations from the left olfactory bulbs were significantly greater than those of the right (p…
In the present experiment peri-pubertal female mice were treated with a partially purified puberty accelerating urine extract (PAUE). Mice treated with the PAUE showed an advance in the onset of puberty as indicated by significantly increased uterine…
It has been demonstrated that castration alters the functioning of the olfactory bulb (OB)-norepinephrine (NE) system. In the present experiment, we examined one of the mechanisms by which castration modulates the OB-NE system by comparing NE uptake…
