Abstract

Levels of dopamine (DA), dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC), homovanillic acid (HVA), noradrenaline (NA), glutathione (GSH), ascorbic acid (AA), dehydroascorbic acid (DHAA) and uric acid (UA) were determined in the striatum and/or in the brainstem of 3-month-old male Wistar rats after subchronic oral exposure to MnCl2 (20 mg kg-1 daily) alone or associated to buthionine (S,R)sulphoximine-ethyl ester (BSO-E), an inhibitor of GSH synthesis. The NA, DA, DOPAC, GSH and glutathione disulphide (GSSG) concentrations were also determined in PC12 cells incubated with Mn alone or associated with either BSO-E or AA. When PC12 cells were incubated with AA, cellular AA and DHAA concentrations were also determined. It was found that BSO-E: (a) decreased GSH levels in the striatum and in the brainstem; (b) potentiated the Mn-induced increase in AA oxidation and uric acid formation in both brain regions; and (c) potentiated the Mn-induced DA and NA depletion in the brainstem. Moreover, the changes in striatal DA metabolism induced by the BSO-E association with Mn (decrease in DA, DOPAC and HVA levels and in the DOPAC + HVA/DA ratio) are consistent with the hypothesis of a loss of dopaminergic neurons. In PC12 cells, BSO-E decreased GSH and GSS...Continue Reading

Basal Ganglia

Basal Ganglia are a group of subcortical nuclei in the brain associated with control of voluntary motor movements, procedural and habit learning, emotion, and cognition. Here is the latest research.
