Cerebrovascular response to intracarotid infusion of 5-hydroxytryptophan and L-DOPA in cats. 1978

E Koźniewska, and A H Samaan, and K Skolasińska

Intracarotid administration of 5-hydroxytryptophan (10 mg/kg) results in a slight vasoconstriction of cerebral vessels. L-DOPA (20 mg/kg) administered by the same route enhances cerebral blood flow. The effect on cerebral blood flow of L-DOPA (20 mg/kg) following intracarotid 5-hydroxytryptophan (10 mg/kg) administration shows a potentiation of cerebral blood flow response in non-pretreated as well as in nialamide- and reserpine-pretreated cats.

D007980 Levodopa The naturally occurring form of DIHYDROXYPHENYLALANINE and the immediate precursor of DOPAMINE. Unlike dopamine itself, it can be taken orally and crosses the blood-brain barrier. It is rapidly taken up by dopaminergic neurons and converted to DOPAMINE. It is used for the treatment of PARKINSONIAN DISORDERS and is usually given with agents that inhibit its conversion to dopamine outside of the central nervous system.

D002415 Cats The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.
