title: Catecholaminergic transmission in different brain regions of chick during Newcastle disease virus (NDV) infection.
abstract: Alterations in the catecholaminergic transmission during Newcastle disease virus (NDV) infection was studied in different brain regions of chick. The results obtained in the present study reveal that the epinephrine, norepinephrine, dopamine and 5-HT were decreased and monoamineoxidase activity was elevated during both the time periods of infection. The chickens after 72 h infection showed more depletion when compared to 24 h, indicating that the catecholaminergic activity was impaired during NDV infection.
