Xenophanes ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am deeply endebted to my supervisor Professor H.S. Bachelard for his support and patience with a student who persistently tried to run before she could walk. I am very grateful for his philosophical outlook towards my sometimes rather far-fetched and impractical ideas, allowing me to learn by experience. There are a large number of people who have helped me over the past three years. I would especially like to thank John Ridley, Dr. Elizabeth Trifilieff and Dr. Keith Wood for their help with the serotonin and tryptophan assays; Mrs Rosemary Chase and Margaret Grant for showing me how to use the Chromaspek amino-acid analyser, and for running my samples. I would also like to thank Enrico Coen and Kim Gardner for their technical assistance, and Dr. C. Pycock, Dr. P. Emson and Dr. A.C. Cuello for their advice. I would like to acknowledge the help of Jeff Venn in the workshop and Roger Francis in the animal house. Last, but not least, I am grateful to Richard Taylor and Helen Wise for their companionship in the laboratory. CONTENTS Page I ABSTRACT 1 II INTRODUCTION 2 A. Clinical aspects of amphetamine use 2 B.

ABSTRACT Rats were chronically treated with methamphetamine over a seven week period during which time their weights, food consumption and drinking rates were recorded. The effects of chronic treatment with, and withdrawal from, methamphetamine on amine metabolism in selected brain regions was investigated. Three groups of experimental animals were studied; chronically treated rats, rats which had been withdrawn from the drug for 36 h and controls. The parameters chosen to reflect changes in catecholamine metabolism in the brain were: tyrosine hydroxylase activity and the levels of noradrenaline, dopamine and their non-O-methylated meta­ bolites and of phenylalanine and tyrosine. The metabolism of serotonin was studied by measuring the levels of "free" tryptophan in the plasma,and the levels of tryptophan and serotonin in the brain. Initially the methamphetamine was administered in the drinking water at doses of 5, 10, 20 and 40 mg/kg/24 h increasing in a stepwise manner over a period of 20 days. This dose was found to produce toxic reactions in the rats and it was found that it was not possible to control the intake of the drug. In subsequent experiments the rats were given 5, 10 and 15 mg/kg/24 h i.p. increasing in a stepwise manner over a period of 15 days. The first set of injected animals did not develop tolerance to the anorexic effects of methamphetamine and the chronically treated and withdrawn animals showed changes in tyrosine hydroxylase activity and in the levels of noradrenaline and dopamine. -la- The three other sets of injected animals did develop tolerance to the anorexic effects of methamphetamine. Tyrosine hydroxylase and the levels of noradrenaline, dopamine, their non-O-methylated metabolites and of tryptophan and serotonin did not change in these chronically-treated or withdrawn animals, but changes were seen in the levels of "free" tryptophan in the plasma and the levels of most amino acids in the brain. —2— II. INTRODUCTION A. CLINICAL ASPECTS OF AMPHETAMINE USE Historically the study of amphetamines began in 1887 when Edeleano pre­ pared the volatile^amine phenylisopropylamine (amphetamine). Barger and Dale (1910) found that it was related to adrenaline in its pharma­ cological actions (see Connell, 1970). In 1927 Allés synthesized amphetamine in the course of a search for a substance to replace ephe- drine, which was difficult to obtain from its natural sources.

The interaction between ethanol and dopamine metabolism is the probable mechanism involved. The aim of the study was to establish the contribution of the dose of ethanol on OHTyr formation. 24 healthy male volunteers were included. Subjects were distributed in three different cohorts and each volunteer received two doses of ethanol or placebo. Doses of ethanol administered were 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 and 42g. Study design was double-blind, randomized, crossover and controlled. Hydroxytyrosol, tyrosol (Tyr), 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC), and homovanillic acid (HVA) urinary excretion, ethanol plasma concentrations and drunkenness were evaluated along a 6-hour period. Urinary excretion of OHTyr and Tyr increased with ethanol administered dose. A reduction in the ratio DOPAC/OHTyr from placebo to the highest dose was observed, compatible with a shift in the dopamine metabolism to preferently produce OHTyr instead of DOPAC.

  • Functional Studies of Dopamine-D2S Receptor Signaling Through the RASA3 Pathway
    Functional Studies of Dopamine-D2S Receptor Signaling through the RASA3 Pathway Chao Chang Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the MSc degree in Neuroscience Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine Faculty of Medicine University of Ottawa © Chao Chang, Ottawa, Canada, 2014 Abstract RASA3 (Ras p21 GTPase Activating Protein 3) is required for D2SR (Dopamine D2 Short Receptor) induced ERK1/2 inhibition in pituitary lactotroph GH4ZR7 cells. We hypothesized that RASA3 may be important for D2SR signaling to inhibit ERK1/2 in dopamine neurons, and thus negatively regulate TH (Tyrosine Hydroxylase) expression and activity. We designed and made shRASA3 lentivirus and showed that it inhibits RASA3 expression. Lentivirus mediated RASA3 knockdown can partially reverse the D2SR mediated ERK1/2 inactivation in GH4ZR7 cells. We then showed that knockdown of RASA3 in dopamine-secreting PC12 cells increased NGF-stimulated ERK1/2 in cells expressing D2SR, but not in cells lacking D2SR, thus implicating RASA3 plays a role in D2SR-mediated inhibition of ERK1/2 signaling. We also found that knockdown of RASA3 increased TH protein levels in cells expressing D2R receptors but not those without D2SR, suggesting that D2SR tonically inhibits the synthesis of TH. We also found preliminary indication that mutant RASA3 mice show increased level of TH in SN compared to WT mice. RASA3 mutant mice showed no striking changes in basal locomotion, anxiety or depression phenotypes, but further studies are needed to specifically address dopamine-driven behaviors. In summary, our data support the role of RASA3 in mediating D2SR-induced inhibition of ERK1/2 in dopamine neurons to negatively regulate TH expression and activity.

Both stand out because of their high phenolic compound content and their potential related health benefits. The present study is focused on the metabolic disposition of resveratrol (RESV), tyrosol (TYR), and hydroxytyrosol (HT) following the consumption of EVOO, RW, and a combination of both. In this study, 12 healthy volunteers consumed a single dose of 25 mL of EVOO, 150 mL of RW, and a combination of both in a crossover randomized clinical trial. Urinary recovery of RESV, TYR, and HT was analysed in urine samples collected over a 6-h period following the intake of each treatment. Higher HT levels were observed following EVOO compared to RW (3788 ± 1751 nmols and 2308 ± 847 nmols respectively).
