MeOH extracts of sixteen herbal drugs were tested for the effects on bovine adrenal tyrosine hydroxylase and dopamine ${\beta}-hydroxylase$. The MeOH extracts of Paeoniae Radix and Pinelliae Tuber showed 65% inhibition on the tyrosine hydroxylase activity at the concentration of 100 $\mu$g in the enzyme reaction mixture. Those of Paeoniae Radix, Pinelliae Tuber and Evodiae Fructus showed 87, 84 and 62%, respectively, on the dopamine ${\beta}-hydroxylase$ activity.

The effects of monosodium glutamate (MSG) on the activities if tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), dopamine ${\beta}$-hydroxylase (DBH), tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH) and monoamine oxidase (MAO) in various regions (cerebral cortex, striatum, midbrain, pons and medulla of nat brain have been determined. It was observed that up to 1mM MSGhad no significant effects on the activities of brain tyrosine hydroxylase, dopamine ${\beta}$-hydroxylase, tryptophan hydroxylase and monoamine oxidase in all regions of rat brain. These results indicated that MSG itself exerted no direct effect on the important enzymes synthsizing and metabolizing the monoaminergic neuronal system.

성체 소의 망막에 존재하는 doparminergic 신경세포의 형태를 연구하였다. Dopaminerglc 세포는 항체면역세포화학적 방법을 이용하여 확인하였다. Tyrosine hydroxylase 면역 반응 신경 세포의 대부분은 내핵층의 가장 깊은 부분에 위치했다. 이들 세포들의 돌기들은 단층이었으며 그리고 내망상층의 1층내에 위치했다. Tyrosine-hydroxylase 면역 반응되는 두 번째 주요 세포 집단은 치환된 amacrine 세포들이다. 치환된 tyrosine-hydroxylase 면역 반응 amacrine 세포의 돌기들도 역시 내망상층의 1층내에 나타났다. 소수의 신경 세포의 돌기들은 외망상층에서 나타났다. 매우 낮은 밀도의 신경세포들은 내망상층의 중간과 깊은 층에서 tyrosine-hydroxylase 면역 반응 돌기들의 추가적인 층을 가졌다. Doparminergic 신경세포의 돌기들은 방사선형으로 넓게 신장되어 큰 모양을 형성하였고 수상돌기의 가지들은 적당하게 뻗어 있었다. 이러한 돌기들은 때때로 varicosity를 가지지만 "dendritic rings"을 형성하지는 않았다. 본연구의 결과는 doparminergic 세포는 소의 망막내 특이 신경세포 형태를 구성하는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Streptozotocin(STZ)-유발 당뇨쥐에서 시상하부의 norepinephrine(NE) 대사를 기초 NE 함량, NE 교체율, in vivo tyrosine hydroxylase(TH) 활성을 그 지표로 하여 조사하였다. STZ (60 mg/kg, iv)로 당뇨를 유발한 후 4주까지 기초 NE 함량은 유의한 변화가 없었다. 그러나 당뇨유발 후 1주째에 측정한 NE 교체율은 대조치의 62%(p<0.01), in vivo TH 활성은 대조치의 34% (p<0.05)로 감소하였다. 이상의 결과로 본 실험에서 측정한 NE 대사의 세 지표 중에서 in vivo TH 활성이 STZ-유발 당뇨쥐의 시상하부 NE 대사의 변화를 가장 민감하게 반영하였다.

The substantia nigra of the Mongolian gerbil was studies by tyrosine hydroxylase immunohistochemistry and immunoelectron microscopy with preembedding method. The purpose was to obtain information on the distribution and ultrastructure of the Tyrosine hydroxylase immunoreactive and dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, in order to provide the necessary background for the gerbil. Large number of tyrosine hydroxylase immunoreactive neurons were located in the compact part of substantia nigra. Findings in the gerbil, compared to observations in the other species, included the presence of prominent bundles of tyrosine hydroxylase immunoreactive cytoplasmic processes passing in the dorsoventral direction from pars compacta into pars reticulata at middle and caudal levels of the substantia nigra, and the presence of a distinct tyrosine hydroxylase immunoreactive substantia nigra pars lateralis. Tyrosine hydroxylase immunoreactive neurons had well-developed cell organelles, especially rough endoplasmic reticulum, free ribosome and poly-ribosome, and showed the infoldings of the nuclear envelope. We anticipate that the present description of the cellular organization of the tyrosine hydroxylase immunoreactive dopaminergic area in the substantia nigra of gerbil will be useful for the animal experimental model of Parkinson's disease.

As an effort to direct differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hES, MB03) to dopamine-producing neuronal cells, we expressed Nurr-l in hES and examined the expression of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) after bFGF induction. To introduce Nurr-l, hES cells were maintained in humidified chamber with 5% CO₂ and 95% air in DMEM/Fl2 supplemented with FBS (10%), penicillin (100U/㎖), and streptomycin (100㎍/㎖). (omitted)

Ginseng total saponin (GTS) can modulate dopaminergic activity at both presynaptic and postsynaptic dopamine receptors (Kim et al, 1998). The present study investigated t he effect of GTS on the bovine adrenal tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), which catalyze L/tyrosine to DOP. GTS inhibited the bovine adrenal TH by 42.4, 51.5 and 55.3% at concentrations of 40, 80 and 100${\mu}g$/ml, respectively. The IC50 value of GTS was 77.5${\mu}g$/ml. GTS exhibited noncompetitive inhibition with a substrate L-tyrosine. The Ki value was 155${\mu}g$/ml.

Palmatine, an protoberberine isoquinoline alkaloid, has been found to inhibit dopamine biosynthesis by reducing tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) activity in PC12 cells (Lee and Kim, 1996). We have therefore investigated the effects of palmatine on bovine adrenal TH. Palmatine showed a mild inhibition on bovine adrenal TH (36.4% inhibition at concentration of $200\muM$). Bovine adrenal TH was inhibited competitively by palmatine with a substrate L-tyrosine. The Ki value was found to be 0.67 mM. This result suggests that the inhibition of TH activity by palmatine may be partially involved in the reduction of dopamine biosynthesis in PC12 cells.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of electrical stimulation on the change Tyrosine-Hydroxylase immunoreactive(TH-IR) cells in the Central gray and retrorubral field of the male SD rats. 9 healthy and normal rats were divided into three groups, 3 SD rat in each group. The one group has been stimulated by electroacupuncture(EA, 2Hz) for 30min and the other group by EA for 1hr 30min and control group has been stimulated. TH-IR cells were found in the Central gray(CG) and Retrorubral field(RF). The numbers of TH-IR cells of CG and RF were significantly increased after 30 min (CG $6.2{\pm}0.83$, RF $1.4{\pm}0.55$)as compared with control group(CG $24{\pm}3.16$, RF $6.4{\pm}0.55$) and were also significantly increased after 1hr 30min(CG $75.6{\pm}4.51$, RF $18.8{\pm}0.89$) than 30min. These results show that TH is related into CG and RF in response to electrical stimulation.

Objectives : The goal of this study was to investigative the effect of Gardeniae Fructus (GF)as antidepressant in the forced swimming test(FST) model rats. Methods : The expressions of corticotropin-releasing factor(CRF), tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and c-fos were measured by immunohistochemical method at paraventricular nucleus(PVN), locus coeruleus (LC) and ventral tegmental area(VTA). Results : The duration of immobility in FST was significantly decreased in the GF 100mg/kg groups (p<0.05). CRF expression was significantly decreased at PVN in the GF 100 mg/kg and 400mg/kg treated group in comparison with the control group, respectively (p<0.01). c-fos expression was decreased at PVN in the GF 100 mg/kg treated group with no significance. TH expression was significantly decreased in the GF 100 mg/kg and 400mg/kg treated group in comparison with the control group, at LC and VTA respectively (p<0.001). Conclusion : According to the results, it can be considered that Gardeniae Fructus has antidepressant effect by showing the reduction of immobility in FST through the reduction of CRF, TH expression.
