ABSTRACT
17ß-Estradiol (E2) is a ubiquitously expressed hormone that is active in a wide range of neuroprotective and regenerative roles throughout the brain. In particular, it is a well-known dopamine (DA) regulator and is responsible for modulating the expression of dopaminergic receptors and transporters. Recent studies point to E2 release occurring on a rapid time scale and having impacts on DA activity within seconds to minutes. As such, tools capable of monitoring the release of both E2 and DA in real time are essential for developing an accurate understanding of their interactive roles in neurotransmission and regulation. Currently, no analytical techniques capable of codetection of both analytes with high sensitivity, spatiotemporal resolution, extended monitoring, and minimal tissue damage exist. We describe a modified waveform using fast-scan cyclic voltammetry that is capable of low nanomolar detection of both DA and E2 on a subsecond time scale. Both analytes have limits of detection at or below 30 nM and high sensitivity 11.31 ± 0.55 nA/µM for DA and 9.47 ± 0.36 nA/µM for E2. The waveform is validated in a tissue matrix, confirming its viability for measurement in a biologically relevant setting. This is the first method capable of codetection of fluctuations in DA and E2 with the temporal, spatial, and sensitivity requirements necessary for studying real-time neurochemical signaling.
