Description

In the present experiment we tested the effects of L-DOPA and amphetamine upon dopamine and DOPAC efflux in vitro from superfused corpus striatal tissue fragments of male rats who had been pretreated with reserpine. Male rats were treated with reserpine (5 mg/kg) or its vehicle at 24 hours prior to sacrifice and superfusion of the corpus striatum. Two different modes of L-DOPA (5 microM) and amphetamine (10 microM) stimulation, a brief 10-minute and a continuous
