Abstract:Dopamine (DA) and norepinephrine (NE) in the diencephalon were quantified between 9.30 and 10.30 hours, at the age of 14, 18,20,22 and 26 weeks in sham-operated and ovariectomized hens. Average DA concentration in the diencephalon did not vary significantly between the sham-operated and ovariectomized hens among the various age groups studied. The values of NE in the diencephalon of sham-operated hens were significantly higher than in ovariectomized hens at their comparable age. A significant increase was note… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
