The effects of age on the dopamine (DA) turnover and 6R-L-erythro-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobiopterin (6R-BH4), a cofactor for monooxygenases, were investigated in the striatum and midbrain of the senescence accelerated mouse (SAM) at 6, 12 and 15 months old. 6R-BH4 and DA levels were decreased significa...
