  • Title: Effects of transient, global, cerebral ischemia on striatal extracellular dopamine, serotonin and their metabolites.
    Author: Phebus LA, Clemens JA.
    Journal: Life Sci; 1989; 44(19):1335-42. PubMed ID: 2469926.
    Abstract:
    Rat striatal extracellular fluid levels of dopamine, serotonin, 3-methoxytyramine (3-MT), 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC), homovanillic acid (HVA) and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) were measured before, during and after transient, global cerebral ischemia in awake rats using in vivo brain microdialysis. Before ischemia, extracellular levels of dopamine, DOPAC, HVA and 5-HIAA were detectable and consistent from sample to sample. During cerebral ischemia, there was a large increase in extracellular dopamine levels and a decrease in the extracellular levels of DOPAC, HVA, and 5-HIAA. During reperfusion, dopamine levels returned to normal as did those of DOPAC, HVA and 5-HIAA. Dialysate serotonin and 3-methoxytyramine concentrations were below detection limits except for samples collected during ischemia and early reperfusion.
