Description 327-330
The effects of
feeding of 6-propylthiouracil (6-PTU) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA)
independently and in combination and administration (ip) of a single
dose of triiodothyronine (T3) (2.5μg/l00g body wt) along with feeding of 6-PTU and PUFA were studied
in rat brain. Dopamine (DA), 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), seroton in (5-HT),
5-hydroxy in dole acetic acid (5-HIAA), norepinephrine (NE) and epinephrine
(EPI) contents were assayed in the hypothalamus and cerebral cortex regions. It
was found that 6-PTU feeding resulted in decrease in dopamine, 5-HT, 5-HTP and
5-HIAA in both regions. In animals fed with PUFA followed by administration of T3,
the DA level was found normal.
