Microdialysis studies on cortical noradrenaline release: basic characteristics, significance of extracellular calcium and massive post-mortem increase
Abstract
Extracellular noradrenaline was measured on-line in the cerebral cortex of the freely moving rat by microdialysis coupled to high performance liquid chromatography and electrochemical detection. High potassium concentrations in the perfusion fluid led to a strong increase, whereas tetrodotoxin led to almost undetectable levels of noradrenaline. This shows that noradrenaline in the dialysate was directly derived from active neuronal release. Noradrenaline levels were sensitive to calcium concentrations in the perfusion fluid: from 10% in calcium-free medium to 200% for 10 mM calcium. An overdose of anesthetic caused a 60-fold increase of noradrenaline post-mortem.
