Figure 4

Maternal separation reduced the rate of dopamine uptake in SHR striatum. Results are displayed as median and interquartile range. a. The rate constant (k -1 ) for dopamine clearance (DAT function) in SHR and WKY striatum (at depths of 3.5 to 5 mm DV) was decreased by maternal separation in SHR. * MS significantly lower than NMS (p < 0.05). b. Total clearance time (T100) for exogenous dopamine ejected into the striatum (3.5 to 5 mm DV) in maternally separated and non-separated SHR and WKY. *Maternal separation increased T100 in SHR compared to non-separated SHR (p < 0.05).
