Popis: | The dopaminergic neurochemical parameters of the adult (3 months) rat's striata in comparison with those of aged (26 months) ones were studied using HPLC/ED method. It was shown that Dopamine (DA) and its intracellular metabolite DOPAC content increase in striatal homogenates of aged rats up to 153 and 165%, accordingly. The level of other metabolite--HVA, as well as intensity of basal DA efflux from perfused isolated striata decreased to 77 and 45%, respectively. The high negative correlation (r = -0.90; p 0.05). The suggestion concerning the aging--related changes of the interactions within striatal DA-ergic system is discussed. |
