PG - 203-6 AB - Using in vivo microdialysis, we examined whether tyrosine administration would potentiate the desipramine (DMI)-induced elevation of medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC) dopamine (DA) levels. DMI (10 or 20 mg/kg IP) increased MPFC DA levels but not DOPA accumulation. Tyrosine (12.5-100 mug/ml) administered by reverse microdialysis did not affect DMI-induced MPFC DA levels. The data support our hypothesis that DA synthesis must be significantly increased in order for administered tyrosine to increase extracellular DA levels.
