TL;DR
Striatal slices are more sensitive to the inhibition of [14C]dopamine biosynthesis by apomorphine than tyrosine hydroxylase preparations obtained either from bovine adrenal glands or from the striatum of rats, and the inhibition by apomorphicine is more effective.

Supporting evidence for apomorphine acts on the dopamine receptors whereas amphetamine acts by releasing dopamine is given by further functional, biochemical and histochemical studies.

The action of apomorphine on gnaw compulsion is, just as that of dopamine, directly on effect receptors, and may act as a substitute for dopamine deficiency in Parkinson's disease.

L-DOPA is a precursor for the biosynthesis of both melanins and catecholamines and both groups of substances are diminished within the Parkinsonian brain.

Injection of 1.5 mg/kg tetrabenazine (TBZ) abolished lever-pressing in rats maintained on a variable-interval schedule of food reinforcement, correlated with a decrease in central dopamine, noradrenaline, and 5-hydroxytryptamine levels.
