abstract：:In experiments using a synaptosomal preparation from the striatum and nucleus accumbens, somatostatin caused a dose-dependent increase in dopamine synthesis. This increase was additive with that produced by 8-BrcAMP but not with that produced by the phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA), and was bl...
