Previous studies have demonstrated opposite effects of high-pressure helium and nitrogen on extracellular dopamine (DA) levels, which may reflect disturbances on the synthesis, release or metabolic mechanisms. Intrastriatal microdialysis was used to measure the precursor (tyrosine), DA and its metabolites (DOPAC, HVA) levels under nitrogen- or helium- at pressure up to 3 MPa. Under 3 MPa of helium-oxygen breathing mixtures, the extracellular concentration of tyrosine is decreased while the extracellular concentration of DA is increased. On the contrary, nitrogen-oxygen breathing mixture at the same pressure increased extracellular tyrosine concentration and decreased DA release. Under both conditions, an increment of the DOPAC and HVA levels could be noted. Our results suggest that changes in DA release and metabolism during high-pressure helium exposure reflect the effect of the pressure per se, whereas the intrinsic effects of narcotic gases, although sensitive to pressure, would be revealed by hyperbaric nitrogen exposure.
