Аннотация:Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and dopamine transporter (DAT) mRNA levels in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) of midbrain were measured by multiplex RT-PCR in male mice with repeated experience of social victories (winners) and social defeats (losers) in 10 daily agonistic confrontations. Two independent experiments revealed enhanced TH and DAT mRNA levels in VTA of the winners in comparison with the losers and controls (animals after 5 days of individual housing). A positive correlation between DAT and TH mRNA levels was shown.
