[Effect of D,L-dopa on the content of protein antigens in rat brain structures]

Cross immunoelectrophoresis was used to study the effect of administering the noradrenaline precursor D,L-DOPA on the content of water-soluble antigens in the hypothalamus, cerebellum and frontal cortex of rats. The content of 3 out of the 10 antigens under study significantly increased in the hypothalamus and that of 2 in the cerebellum after intraperitoneal injection of D,L-DOPA. The content of these antigens was greater in the structures with a high noradrenaline level.
