Analysis of dopamine and 3-MT dynamics in the striatum and in striatal dialysates, after pargyline treatment, indicates that the 3-MT pool in the rat is smaller but more dynamic than that in the mouse. The fractional rate constants calculated for the extracellular 3-MT and dopamine pools also indicate that a larger proportion of released dopamine is metabolized to 3-MT in the rat, or alternatively, 3-MT is cleared more slowly from the mouse striatum. Our striatal dialysis data also support previous in vivo voltammetry studies which have demonstrated that the fractional rate constant of the extracellular dopamine pool is at least 10-fold greater than that of the total striatal dopamine pool. These data suggest that multiple striatal dopamine pools exist and that a minimum of 20 to 30% of the extracellular DA pool is metabolized to 3-MT.
