Abstract
The levels of dopamine, noradrenaline [norepinephrine] and 5-hydroxytryptamine were estimated in the hypothalamus and limbic areas, corpus striatum, cerebellum and the brain-stem of rats administered thallous acetate (5 mg/kg i.p.) daily for 7 days. Significant decreases in the concentration of dopamine occurred in the hypothalamus, limbic areas and corpus striatum. Noradrenaline did not reveal significant alteration in any of the regions of the brain examined. The concentration of 5-hydroxytryptamine was significantly lowered in the corpus striatum, cerebellum and the brain-stem.Keywords
