The influence of 6-hydroxydopamine and 6-hydroxydopa on the phospholipids content in the brain of rats. 1979

H I Trzeciak, and Z S Herman, and A Kryk, and K Kryk

6-hydroxydopamine and 6-hydroxydopa injected intraperitoneally in dose of 50 microgram/g in newborn rats, two and six weeks old caused a drop in content of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylserine, and an increase in content of phosphatidylinositol in the brains of two weeks old rats treated with 6-hydroxydopamine in comparison with controls. 6-hydroxydopa administration caused an increase of the content of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylinositol and decrease of diphosphatidylglycerol in the brain of two weeks old rats. In the brains of six weeks old rats only a decrease in content of phosphatidic acid was observed after administration of either 6-hydroxydopamine or 6-hydroxydopa. The results are further evidence of a nonspecific toxic action of both compounds.

D010716	Phosphatidylinositols	Derivatives of phosphatidic acids in which the phosphoric acid is bound in ester linkage to the hexahydroxy alcohol, myo-inositol. Complete hydrolysis yields 1 mole of glycerol, phosphoric acid, myo-inositol, and 2 moles of fatty acids.

D010743	Phospholipids	Lipids containing one or more phosphate groups, particularly those derived from either glycerol (phosphoglycerides see GLYCEROPHOSPHOLIPIDS) or sphingosine (SPHINGOLIPIDS). They are polar lipids that are of great importance for the structure and function of cell membranes and are the most abundant of membrane lipids, although not stored in large amounts in the system.	Phosphatides,Phospholipid
D001921	Brain	The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM.	Encephalon
D004295	Dihydroxyphenylalanine	A beta-hydroxylated derivative of phenylalanine. The D-form of dihydroxyphenylalanine has less physiologic activity than the L-form and is commonly used experimentally to determine whether the pharmacological effects of LEVODOPA are stereospecific.	Dopa,3,4-Dihydroxyphenylalanine,3-Hydroxy-DL-tyrosine,Dihydroxyphenylalanine Hydrochloride, (2:1),beta-Hydroxytyrosine,3 Hydroxy DL tyrosine,3,4 Dihydroxyphenylalanine,beta Hydroxytyrosine
D006892	Hydroxydopamines	Dopamines with a hydroxy group substituted in one or more positions.	Hydroxydopamine
D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.	Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
