Influence of an Aromatic Amino Acid Decarboxylase Inhibitor on GTP Cyclohydrolase I Activity in the Rat Brain
Based on the hypothesis that catecholamine decreases may cause increases in biopterin, we measured the GTP cyclohydrolase I(GTPCH-I) activity and biopterin content in the cerebral cortex, midbrain/diencephalon, cerebeilum, pons/medulla oblongata, striatum , and hippocampus of brains from rats given...
