Catecholamines
Catecholamines originate from a wide range of neural pathways by employing
biogenic amines as neurotransmitters (Stoica et al., 2004).
The neurotransmitter metabolites released into the cerebrospinal fluid can be a
sensitive indicator of neuronal functioning in nearby diencephalon structures
(Wightman et al., 1988).
Therefore, it is of great clinical importance to measure neurotransmitters and their
metabolites level in the extracelluar fluid in order to monitor neurotransmission
process (Peters et al., 2000).
Dopamine (DA) is an important neurotransmitter because it involved in motor and
cognitive functions; deficits in brain may cause Parkinsons disease in human
beings. DA has also been associated with the reward system, the circuitry in
the brain is responsible for the motivation to seek out stimuli as well as the
emotions for feeling satisfied and satiated in ones environment (Vinton and
Wightman, 2003).
From the view of point of physiological importance, it is a challenge to monitor DA
and its metabolite of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC), because DA
level control is vital in the treatment of Parkinsons disease.

INTRODUCTION
There is considerable interest in developing electrodes for electrochemical
determination of neurotransmitters such as dopamine (DA) and serotonin (5-HT). Low
levels of DA have been found in patients with Parkinsons disease. Serotonin 5-HT is
widely distributed in the brain, and together with other neurotransmitters, plays an
important role in brain functions. Both DA and 5-HT are readily oxidized; hence,
electrochemical techniques have been explored for their analysis [1-4] ascorbic acid
(AA) represent a major interferent in the determination.
OBJECTIVE
Selective electrochemical detection of DA and 5-HT in the
presence of AA at multi-wall carbon nanotube paste electrode
modified with cobalt(II) phthalocyanine (MWCNT-CoPC).
The strategy now is to design electrodes that can allow for simultaneous detection
of several neurotransmitters, while eliminating the interfering effects of ascorbic acid.
APPROACHES FOR THE DETERMINATION OF NEUROTRANSMITTERS:
capillary electrophoresis with electrochemical detection
liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection
fast-scan cyclic voltammetry (FSCV) using microelectrodes (for in vivo studies)
METHOD
Electrochemical approach
Cyclic voltammetry
Diferential pulse voltammetry
Results

Electrocatalytic mechanism:
On the basis of these observations, it would appear that the most reasonable mechanism for the
dopamine oxidation is then a catalytic CE sequence:

Conclusion
Electrochemical approach is used to detect dopamine at low
applied potential.
The present study proposes an easy-to-make and low-cost
sensor construction for the selective determination of
dopamine.
The chemically-modified multi walled carbon nanotube paste
electrode is capable of enhanced electrochemical monitoring
of dopamine due to the properties of the electrode material
and metalo-phthalocyanines used as mediators.
Interference of ascorbic acid in the multi walled carbon
nanotube paste modified electrodes response was eliminated.

Dopamine
Monoamine hypothesis of
depression
has been the theory explaining biological
basis of depression (Stahl, 1998).
This theory states that depression is
essentially due to a deficiency in one of
three catecholamines : serotonin,
norepinephrine, or dopamine ( notably
norepinephrine - NE and serotonin 5
hydroxytryptamine - 5HT ).
Depresia i dopamina
Din punct de vedere clinic, depresia prin deficit de
dopamin se caracterizeaz prin:
inhibiie psihomotorie
tensiune intrapsihic marcat
tendine abulice
risc suicidar
Markeri biochimici:
prolactina
acidul homovanilmandelic (HVA)
nivele sczute depresie inhibat cu risc suicidar crescut
nivele crescute tendin la depresie delirant sau viraj
dispoziional.
Depresia i noradrenalina
Bunney - 1965 consider deficitul noradrenergic la
nivel limbic ca mecanismul de baz n depresie.
Din punct de vedere clinic, deficitul de
noradrenalin determin o form particular a
depresiei, caracterizat prin:
inhibiie psihomotorie
tendine apato-abulice
pseudo-deficit cognitiv
