Abstract
Subacute exposure of male rats to various concentrations (70-1000 ppm) of dichloromethane (DCM) produces a selective reduction of dopamine (DA) levels without a change of DA turnover in certain types of forebrain DA nerve terminal systems. In the low concentration (70 ppm) a selective reduction of DA turnover was observed in the medial palisade zone (MPZ) of the median eminence. This chlorinated organic solvent also produced a discrete dose-dependent increase of noradrenaline (NA) turnover within the.
