title: CPP antagonizes hypoxia-induced changes in dopamine metabolism in the striatum of newborn rat.
abstract: Treatment with 3-(2-carboxypiperazin-4-yl)-propyl-1-phosphonic acid (CPP), a potent and competitive N-methyl-D-aspartate antagonist, is able to reduce the hypoxia-induced increase in striatal dopamine level by 26% even after the hypoxic insult has occurred. The hypoxia-induced decrease of the striatal 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid level can also be reversed by CPP. This study demonstrates that CPP can antagonize the hypoxia-induced changes in the dopamine metabolism in the striatum of the newborn rat.
