Chromatographic profiles of rat neostriatal extracts. (a) Amino acids in a WKY control-fed female, and (b) monoamines in a control-fed SHR male. Panel a) shows the peaks of aspartic acid (asp), glutamate (Glu), serine (Ser), glutamine (Gln), α-amino adipic acid (AAA), glycine (Gly), taurine (Tau) and γ-amino butyric acid (GABA). Panel b) shows the peaks of 5-hydroxyindol-3-acetic acid (5-HIAA), homovanillic acid (HVA), 3,4-hydroxybenzylamine (DHBA), dopamine (DA) and serotonin (5-HT).
