 The effects of MPTP on brain 5HT had been studied, but the results had been controversial. Probably, this is because of difference in animal species, administration dose and frequency, the period of observation or the brain region of measurement.

 We used mice and studied the effects of striatal 5HT by neurochemical and immunohistochemical methods. One week after MPTP injections (seven daily injections of 30mg/kg), the 5HT content was lower in MPTP-treated mice than in vehicle-injected controls. However, it was almost identical with that of the controls 4 weeks after MPTP injections. The 5 HIAA content was significantly higher in the MPTP-treated mice than in the controls at both 1 and 4 weeks. The 5 HIAA/ 5 HT ratio at 1 week was greater (+133%) in MPTP-treated mice than in vehicle-injected controls. In order to examine our assumption that MPTP affects functionally 5 HT systems in mouse striatum, pargyline was administered on the day of sacrifice for the measurement of 5 HT synthesis. The 5 HT level was increased after pargyline treatment by 3.07-fold in MPTP-treated mice and by 2. 10-fold in the controls 1 week after the last injection, and by approximately 2-fold in both groups at 4 weeks. The activity of tryptophan hydroxylase increased for at least 4 weeks after seven daily injections of MPTP and returned to the control level after 8 weeks. Morphologically, MPTP did not cause degenerative changes in 5 HT afferent neurons to the striatum.
