Dopamine to DOPAC utilization index. CNT naive control, SH sham surgery, VG subdiaphragmatic vagotomy, NaCl single intraperitoneal vehicle injection, LPS single intraperitoneal LPS injection. Vagotomy itself elevate DOPAC/DA ratio in amygdala. Again this effect is not observed during inflammation. However, we observed an elevated DOPAC/DA ratio in hypothalamus of vagotomized rats during inflammation. Details in text
