Changes in growth hormone secretion in spontaneously hypertensive rats.

abstract：:The reuptake of dopamine into nerve terminals is the primary mechanism of inactivation of this neurotransmitter in the synaptic cleft. We report sex differences and estrous cycle variations of rat striatal dopamine uptake sites. During the estrous cycle, peak density of striatal dopamine uptake sites labelled with [3H...
