Diurnal metabolism of dopamine in dystrophic retinas of homozygous and heterozygous retinal degeneration slow (rds) mice.

Abstract excerpt

Dopamine metabolism was studied in dystrophic retinal degeneration slow (rds) mice which carry a mutation in the rds/peripherin gene. RDS mutations in humans cause several forms of retinal degeneration. Dopamine synthesis and utilization were analyzed at various time points in the diurnal cycle in homozygous rds/rds retinas which lack photoreceptor outer segments and heterozygous rds/+ retinas which have short...
