Summary
S-Adenosylhomocysteine (10−7−10−5 M) activated norepinephrine (NE) and serotonin (5HT) in vitro uptake in synaptosomal preparations from rat brain, but did not affect dopamine (DA) uptake. When administered to rats (7 mg/kg i.p.), it had the same effect on in vitro NE and 5HT uptake. It did not affect NE and 5HT release.
