Treatment | TH Activity (pmol/mg Protein/min) |
---|---|
Saline + saline (5) | 17.44 ± 0.99 |
Saline + METH (5) | 7.88 ± 0.652-a |
DADLE + saline (5) | 15.50 ± 1.08 |
DADLE + METH (5) | 7.58 ± 0.802-a |
CD1 mice received 4 mg/kg of DADLE (i.p.) before each i.p. injection of 10 mg/kg of METH which was given four times in a day at 2-hr intervals. Animals were killed 2 wk later and striata removed for analysis of TH activity after the previously described methods (Reinhard et al., 1986; Vrana et al., 1992). Numbers in parentheses indicate numbers of animals examined.
↵2-a P < .05 compared to the saline + saline group.
