1 Potential role of tyrosine hydroxylase in the loss of psychostimulant effect of amphetamine under conditions of impaired dopamine transporter activity. Amphetamine tyrosine hydroxylase Rattus norvegicus
2 Changes in TH activity, assessed as L-DOPA accumulation and TH phosphorylation levels, were measured in amphetamine treated rats with or without pretreatment with GBR12909. Amphetamine tyrosine hydroxylase Rattus norvegicus
3 GBR12909, while having no effect on its own, blocked amphetamine-induced elevation of TH activity in dorsal striatum and nucleus accumbens, measured as increased tissue L-DOPA concentration. Amphetamine tyrosine hydroxylase Rattus norvegicus
4 Our findings indicate that other mechanisms than phosphorylation-regulated TH activity changes are responsible for the paradoxical calming effect of amphetamine under conditions of impaired DAT activity. Amphetamine tyrosine hydroxylase Rattus norvegicus
