Rhesus monkeys, pretreated with alpha-methyl-para-tryosine (AMPT) and subsequently injected with phenylethylamine (PEA), did not demonstrate the characteristic amphetamine-like PEA effects. However, when AMPT pretreatment was followed with l-dopa and then PEA injection, PEA effects were restored. These results are compatible with a dopamine theory of schizophrenia.
用α-甲基-对-酪氨酸(AMPT)预处理恒河猴,随后注射苯乙胺(PEA),未表现出典型的苯丙胺样PEA效应。然而,当AMPT预处理后接着给予左旋多巴,然后注射PEA时,PEA效应得以恢复。这些结果与精神分裂症的多巴胺理论相符。
