title: Amine fluorescence histochemical investigation of the striatum in 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine(MPTP)-induced parkinsonian mice.
abstract: Treatment of mice with 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine(MPTP) markedly decreased dopamine fluorescence in the lateral part of the striatum but not in the median part of the striatum. However, dopamine fluorescence in lateral part of the striatum recovered by treatment L-dihydroxyphenylalanine(L-DOPA).
