A method for the measurement of 3H-monoamine [noradrenaline (NA) and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)] uptake into intact brain following intracerebroventricular injection is described. Most of the accumulated monoamine was associated with nerve terminals (synaptosomes). Radioactivity in the synaptosomal fraction was retained by 0.45-micron filters and was osmotically sensitive, features indicative of accumulation within particles rather than binding to membranes. [3H]5-HT associated with synaptosomes was reduced in animals pretreated with the neurotoxin 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine, in parallel with a reduction in endogenous 5-HT levels. Oral administration of tricyclic antidepressants including clomipramine, desipramine, and imipramine inhibited the synaptosomal accumulation of 3H-monoamines. Overall, the features of the accumulation of 3H-monoamines, after intracerebroventricular administration, displayed many of the characteristics expected of a physiological monoamine reuptake system.
