Abstract
Theoretical expressions are derived for the current voltage peaks obtained using linear sweep voltammetry when the electroactive substance is consumed from a restricted compartment. The dissortion to the peaks caused by a Sallen and Key filter set to a low cut off frequency is also calculated. Results from carbon paste electrodes implanted in freely moving rats for periods of months are shown to be in good agreement with respect to the peak height, the peak potential, the peak width and the asymmetric shape of the peak. It is shown that the restricted compartment can be used to good advantage since the large interfering signal from ascorbate can be removed by electrolysis, allowing the measurement of neuroregulator metabolites such as 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid and homovanillic acid. © 1984.
