Abstract excerpt
The course of postnatal development of noradrenaline (NA) and its unconjugated free metabolite 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol (MHPG), as well as the influence on early chronic vasopressin treatment, were investigated in various brain regions of the hereditary vasopressin-deficient (homozygous di/di) Brattleboro rat. In addition, the densities of the adrenergic receptor subtypes were measured in adult brain....
