title: Influence of taurine on the posthypoxic dopamine release inhibition in comparison to piracetam.
abstract: Taurine (10 mg/kg) does not show any effects on the posthypoxic inhibition of dopamine release from rat striatum slices. When given twice a day for a fortnight, the drug exhibits almost a total protection of release mechanisms. On that account, piracetam acts restitutively.
