Abstract
A single injection of manganese chloride into the rat substantia nigra caused a significant and reversible drop in nigral and striatal dopamine and cofactor content ipsilateral to the lesion. Maximal decrease, in both tissues, was observed 60 days after the lesion, and showed complete recovery at 90 days. In vivo striatal tyrosine hydroxylation and GTP cyclohydrolase activities were also decreased maximally at 60 days and were recovered by 90 days after the lesion. No effects were observed on the side contralateral to the injection.
