Abstract: —
An improved method for the measurement of catecholamines in brain parts has been developed, based on reverse-phase ion-pair chromatography. The new method offers the advantages of high efficiency microparticulate liquid chromatography packings and the flexibility of ion-pair chromatography. By this approach norepinephrine and dopamine (DA) have been measured in the hypothalamus and corpus striatum of the rat brain during various stages of development (15, 21, 30 days). Data are reported on the basis of the whole part and per weight of tissue. For the adult animals, the following concentrations (ng/g wet tissue) were observed for the hypothalamus: NE = 2261 ± 274, DA = 440 ± 103, and for the corpus striatum: DA = 11,888 ± 1840. The overall precision of the method was ±5.6% relative s.d. The absolute recovery was 60 ± 5% relative s.d. and was constant over the range of 1 ng to 1 μg of dopamine or norepinephrine per tissue sample. The relative retention behavior of 18 neurologically important catechol derivatives is reported for reverse-phase chromatography with octyl sulfate as the stationary phase modifier.

Effects of B-HT 920 and B-HT 933 on dopamine and noradrenaline autoreceptors in the rat brain.
TL;DR: The results indicate that B- HT 920 can selectively and potently stimulate the dopamine autoreceptors whereas B-HT 933 can selectively stimulate the noradrenaline autoreceptor regions.

Elevated serotonin and reduced dopamine in subregionally divided Huntington's disease striatum.
TL;DR: As experimental animal data suggest, the relative excess of striatal serotonin or one of its metabolites may facilitate the neurodegenerative process in Huntington's disease striatum.

Abnormalities in Monoamine Levels in the Central Nervous System of the Genetically Epilepsy‐Prone Rat
TL;DR: Observations support the concept that noradrenergic and/or 5‐hydroxytryptaminergic decrements are etiologically important in seizure susceptibility in the GEPR and strengthen the hypothesis that dopaminergic transmission does not regulate seizures susceptibility in this model.

Tyrosine administration increases striatal dopamine release in rats with partial nigrostriatal lesions
TL;DR: Findings suggest that, in rats with severe damage of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons, surviving neurons increase their firing rates and accelerate dopamine synthesis and release, and provide further evidence that tyrosine availability can enhance dopamine synthesis in and release from nigrostRIatal neurons if the firing rates of these neurons are accelerated.

TL;DR: An investigation of the effects of reserpine, pheniprazine, α‐methyl‐para‐tyrosine, diethyldithiocarbamate and l ‐DOPA on the levels of dopamine and norepinephrine in the brains of the 18‐day gestational fetus indicated that the levelsof these neurotransmitters are under controls similar to those known to occur in the brain of the adult rat.
