To determine the metabolic profiles of arterioles of the rat ventral tegmental area and zona compacta and zona reticulata of the substantia nigra (SN), the distribution of selected enzymes, or by-products, of key metabolic pathways were examined histologically. Arterioles of all three regions expressed the enzymes required for aerobic and anaerobic metabolism. However, the relative abundance of the enzymes and byproducts suggests a lower metabolic capacity for the SN than the ventral tegmentum, while lipid catabolism in both regions appears non-operative. Moreover, the larger ventral tegmental arterioles possess a greater potential for nucleic acid and protein synthesis. Together, these results suggest the larger ventral tegmental arterioles possess a greater capacity for proliferation and repair.
