1. A single administration of MPD increases theVmax of vesicular [3H]DA uptake.
A single administration of MPD increases theVmax of vesicular [3H]DA uptake. Rats received a single administration of MPD (40 mg/kg, s.c.) or saline vehicle (1 ml/kg, s.c.) and were killed 1 hr later. The Eadie–Hofstee plot depicts data from one of four experiments, with samples in each run in duplicate. The mean Km values were 235 ± 27 and 230 ± 10 nm for saline- and MPD-treated rats, respectively. The mean Vmax values for all four experiments combined were 1584 ± 129 and 2350 ± 250 fmol/μg protein for 3 min for saline- and MPD-treated rats, respectively; these values differed significantly (p ≤ 0.05).
