Abstract
Dopamine synthesis rates in synaptosomes prepared from the striata of alloxan-diabetic rats were considerably lower than in control preparations. Striatal dopamine metabolite levels, after an initial increase, were also reduced at 3 and 6 weeks after alloxan administration. These findings suggest that dopaminergic functioning may be impaired in diabetic rats.Entities:
