Drugs such as the antipsychotics which increase impulse flow in the nigro-neostriatal dopamine neurons increase both free and conjugated DOPAC levels in both the neostriatum and frontal cortex. Drugs which reduce impulse flow, such as d-amphetamine and apomorphine, cause a reduction in free DOPAC in both the neostriatum and frontal cortex but reduce DOPAC conjugate only in the neostriatum.

Because dopaminergic neurons mediate the hypothermic response to amphetamine and because amphetamine's ability to produce hypothermia requires, in part, the release of newly synthesized dopamine, these observed effects of valine pretreatment support the hypothesis that treatments which alter precursor (tyrosine) availability also affect brain catecholamine synthesis.</p>","PeriodicalId":76387,"journal":{"name":"Psychopharmacology communications","volume":"2 3","pages":"207-17"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1976-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"12179349","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
