Abstract
Using tissue taken post mortem from patients with neuropathologically confirmed Huntington's disease and a series of appropriate control cases, GABA, dopamine and homovanillic acid were measured in the caudate nucleus and the putamen. The previously reported loss of GABA in Huntington's disease was confirmed, while no change in dopamine concentrations and a loss of homovanillic acid in these striatal regions were observed. This loss could not be explained on the basis of agonal state or previous drug treatment.Entities:
