Dopamine metabolism in the tuberculum olfactorium.
The occurrence of the major dopamine metabolites, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) and homovanillic acid (HVA) in the tuberculum olfactorium of the rat was demonstrated by gas chromatography. The ratio of DOPAC to HVA in the tuberculum olfactorium was greater than the ratio of these metabolites in the striatum. The effect of pargyline and probenecid on dopamine metabolite levels was similar for both the tuberculum olfactorium and striatum.
