1 Brain noradrenaline, dopamine and tyrosine hydroxylase were found in rat brain a few days before birth and increased progressively until reaching adult values. The most rapid period of growth for these substances seemed to occur between 7 and 18 days. 2 The intracisternal administration of 6‐hydroxydopamine to rats 7 days of age reduced concentrations of noradrenaline, dopamine, and tyrosine hydroxylase by 72 hours. 3 The concentrations of noradrenaline, dopamine or tyrosine hydroxylase in rats that received 6‐hydroxydopamine at 7 or 14 days of age remained markedly reduced when determined at adulthood, indicating that fibres did not continue to develop after the administration of this compound. The rats treated at 7 days also showed diminished concentrations of noradrenaline in heart. 4 Rats injected with 6‐hydroxydopamine at 7 days had reduced body weight as well as a reduction of some organ weights. This growth deficit was not observed in animals that received this drug at 14 days of age. 5 The administration of ovine growth hormone to rats that received 6‐hydroxydopamine at 7 days did not reverse the growth deficiency in these animals.
