Perfusion with 500 mM EtOH in the dorsal striatum produced a profound increase in the levels of DA in both Aldh2-KO and WT mice.
In contrast, perfusion with 200 and 500 μM AcH decreased both DA and 5-HT levels in Aldh2-KO mice, but not in WT mice.
There were no genotype effects on the basal levels of DA and 5-HT.
