Biphasic effects of m-chlorophenyl-piperazine on 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid concentration in rat brain
Research Communications in Chemical Pathology and Pharmacology
|July 1, 1977
Abstract:
m-Chlorophenyl-piperazine dihydrochloride injected i.p. into rats caused a rapid increase and a subsequent decrease in whole brain concentration of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC), a metabolite of dopamine. The increase in DOPAC at 30 min and the decrease at 3 hrs were dose-related and occurred after doses as low as 5 mg/kg of m-chlorophenyl-piperazine dihydrochloride.
