Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The present study demonstrates the effects of 6R- l -erythro-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobiopterin (6R-BH 4 ) on turnover of dopamine and serotonin (5-HT) in rat striatum during continuous infusion of the amino acids tyrosine and tryptophan. By monitoring with microdialysis, it was found that the increase in dopamine and homovanillic acid (HVA) concentrations in rat striatal extracellular fluid (ECF) induced by 6R-BH 4 was further enhanced by the continuous infusion of tyrosine at a relatively low dose (1 μmol/min/kg) as compared with the concentration which saturates tyrosine hydroxylation. This dose of tyrosine alone did not induce the elevation of dopamine and HVA concentrations in ECF. In contrast, though the concentration of 5-HT and 5-HIAA in striatal ECF was gradually increased by tryptophan infusion, 6R-BH 4 had no further effect. Although the higher output of dopamine into ECF was induced by the dialytic perfusion of 6R-BH 4 via the microdialysis probe into striatum, tyrosine infusion had no further effect on dopamine concentration in the dialysates. The in vivo measurement of DOPA accumulation during NSD 1015 perfusion suggests that the enhancement of dopamine concentration in ECF induced by tyrosine infusion and 6R-BH 4 might be attributable to an increase in tyrosine hydroxylase activity in striatum. Tryptophan hydroxylase was also activated by tyrptophan infusion and/or 6R-BH 4, however, it did not induce an increase in 5-HT concentration in striatal ECF.
