BACKGROUND
The disorder of biogenic amine metabolism (serotonin - 5-HT and dopamine - DA) is expected in the brain (neuron) damage caused by acute ischemia. It is known that long-term abuse of ethyl-alcohol damages the quality of neurons diffusely in the brain. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and its
The time course of changes in monoamine metabolism in ischemic striatum was assessed by measurement of levels of dopamine (DA), dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC), homovanillic acid (HVA), serotonin (5-HT) and 5-hydroxy-indole-acetic acid (5-HIAA) 2, 4, 7 and 16 hours after irreversible unilateral
The effects of aniracetam on extracellular levels of dopamine (DA), serotonin (5-HT) and their metabolites were examined in five brain regions in freely moving stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP) using in vivo microdialysis. Basal DA release in SHRSP was uniformly lower in all
Following right middle cerebral artery occlusion in the rat, striatal dopaminergic system alterations were studied. Dopamine turnover was assessed by measuring 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid concentrations and dopamine receptor function, by measuring (3H)-Spiroperidol binding. There was a transient
Although accumulating evidence suggests that increased extracellular glutamate concentrations may play an important role in hypoxic-ischemic brain injury, dopamine and other catecholamines also seem to be involved. The N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist MK 801 and moderate hypothermia (32-34
