Brain norepinephrine, dopamine, and 5-hydroxytryptamine in magnesium-deprivation encephalopathy in rats

The effect of Mg deficiency on the regional concentrations of norepinephrine, dopamine, and 5-hydroxytryptamine in the brain was studied in clinically symptomatic young rats fed a diet low in magnesium for 10 days. Decreases in magnesium concentration in the brain were not accompanied by any significant changes in these monoamines.
