Abstract:
:For the rapid assay of norepinephrine (NE) and its major metabolite, 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol (MHPG) in the mouse brain, we developed a simple method using isocratic HPLC with coulometric detection. This method permits NE and MHPG assay within 5 min in one chromatographic run. Within-run coefficients of variation for NE and MHPG in the working standard solution were 0.8% and 0.6% (n = 50), respectively. The detector responses were linear from 0.025 to 100 pmol for NE and from 0.05 to 100 pmol for MHPG in the working standard solution. Using this method, the NE and MHPG concentrations were measured in discrete brain areas of the mouse prior treatment with or without alpha-methyl-p-tyrosine or N-(2-chloroethyl)-N-ethyl-2-bromobenzylamine (DSP4).

杂志文章abstract:INTRODUCTION:In experimental pain research the effect of opioids is normally assessed by verbal subjective response to analgesia. However, as many confounders in pain assessment exist, objective bed-side assessment of the effect is highly warranted. Therefore, we aimed to assess the effect of morphine on three objectiv...
