Abstract
Tyrosine hydroxylase activity in the corpus striatum was measured in a large dose of carbon tetrachloride (CC14)-intoxicated rats in order to confirm whether brain catecholamine contents decrease in acute hepatic failure or not. Theoretical amounts of dopa synthesized in the brain of the treated animals were calculated according to an equation of enzyme kinetics. Tyrosine hydroxylase activities in CCl4-injured rats were similar to those in control rats, and calculated amounts of brain dopa in liver-injured rats were rather higher as compared to those in untreated animals.
