C. Martin et al., EFFECTS OF IRRADIATION ON NEURONAL DOPAMI NE UPTAKE, Journal de chimie physique et de physico-chimie biologique, 93(1), 1996, pp. 169-173
The aim of this study was to better understand the mechanism of action
of gamma and neutron radiation on the central nervous system, particu
larly the dopaminergic system. The influence of the two irradiation mo
dalities on the H-3-DA uptake by synaptosomes prepared from striatum w
as studied in mice. Four hours after (neutron-gamma) irradiation [3.9
Gy] and 24 hours after gamma irradiation [12 Gy], an increase of neuro
nal dopamine uptake is observed.
