The Dipeptides Ile-Tyr and Ser-Tyr Exert Distinct Effects on Catecholamine Metabolism in the Mouse Brainstem

Figure 3

Effects of dipeptide ingestion on turnover of DA and NA in the brainstem. DA and NA turnover in the brainstem were evaluated by determining the concentration ratio of (HVA + DOPAC) to DA and that of MHPG to NA, respectively. Data are expressed as the normalized value to the mean of Tyr-group ( for Tyr-, IY-, and YP-groups; for SY-group). Comparisons between groups were analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey-Kramer’s test for post hoc analysis. .
