Sex differences are reported for methamphetamine (MA)-induced neurotoxicity of the nigrostriatal dopaminergic system. In an attempt to understand some of the bases for these differences, we investigated MA-evoked dopamine (DA) responses from…

In the present experiment we examined the effects of an in vitro infusion of nicotine (10 microM) upon dopamine release from superfused striatum of castrated male and female rats treated or not treated with estrogen. Estrogen exerted bidirectional…

A model of peripheral nerve injury was used to study gender differences in the development and progression of chronic constriction injury (CCI)-induced hyperalgesia and allodynia in male and female Fischer 344 FBNF1 hybrid rats. Rats were randomly…

The gonadal steroid hormone, estrogen, has the capacity to function as a neuroprotectant against methamphetamine (MA)-induced neurotoxicity of the nigrostriatal dopaminergic system within female, but not male, mice. In an attempt to understand some…

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…

The gonadal steroid hormone estrogen (E) can function as a neuroprotectant of nigrostriatal dopaminergic (NSDA) neurotoxicity, however, there exists very limited information on the role of testosterone (T) in this capacity. In the present report, the…

In this report a series of six in vitro experiments in which reserpine-evoked dopamine output and two in vivo experiments in which the effects of reserpine injections upon dopamine content from striatal tissue of female and male mice were performed…

Castrated retired breeder male and female mice were treated or not with a 17 beta-estradiol pellet. At 10 days postcastration +/- estrogen treatment all animals were treated with MPTP. Five days later, concentrations of dopamine were determined from…
