Abstract
The acidic metabolites of dopamine, homovanillic acid (HVA) and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC), are present in rat retina. DOPAC is the most abundant metabolite. Both metabolites increase in parallel when rats are taken from a dark to a lighted environment. Haloperidol treatment also increases the metabolites in both dark and light while apomorphine decreases both metabolites in dark and light and partially antagonizes the increase induced by haloperidol.Entities:
