A pre-positron emission tomography study of L-3,4-dihydroxy-[3H]phenylalanine distribution in the rat.

Abstract:

:The distribution of L-3,4-dihydroxy-[3H]phenylalanine (L-[3H]DOPA) was examined in rats following i.v. injection, to ascertain the possible usefulness of using this ligand to image dopaminergic systems using positron emission tomography. It was found that L-DOPA and its metabolites were preferentially localized in the basal ganglia as compared to other brain regions, and that this preferential localization could be abolished by lesioning of the nigro-striatal tract. The parameters of the L-DOPA uptake and the sensitivity of this uptake to alterations in dopaminergic pathways indicate that this ligand may be useful in visualizing aberrations in dopaminergic pathways in various pathological conditions.

  • Electroconvulsive shock increases the phosphorylation of amphiphysin II in the rat cerebellum.

    abstract::Amphiphysin II (Amph2) is known to undergo rapid dephosphorylation and phosphorylation at nerve terminals. After in vivo electroconvulsive shock (ECS) in the rat cerebellum, we found an electrophoretic mobility retardation of Amph2, which suggested an increased degree of phosphorylation above the non-stimulated level....
