Effect of calcium on the histochemical distribution and intensity of biogenic amine-containing neurons in the mouse brain.
The effect of calcium on the biogenic amine level and distribution in the mouse brain was investigated by a histochemical method using a microscopic photometer (Pl, Nikon). Histochemical fluorescence intensities in the corpus striatum and cortex cerebri regions were significantly increased by the intraventricular administration of CaCl2. This result suggests that calcium increases biogenic amine levels. These results are consistent with our previous pharmacological and biochemical findings.
