[Homovanillic acid levels in corpus striatum, limbic system and diencephalon of male and female rats].
The HVA levels in corpus striatum, limbic system and diencephalon in male and female rats during the postnatal period have been measured. The HVA levels in corpus striatum and diencephalon differed significantly when both sexes wee compared, whereas in limbic system significant differences were not found. A decrease in the levels of HVA in all areas studied was observed.
