Using the formaldehyde-fluorescence technique, the authors studied the influence of atropine and carbachol, administered intraventricularly to Wistar rats, on the fluorescence of catecholaminergic structures in 20 areas of the CNS, situated within the range of the 10th-46th frontal plane according to KONIG and KLIPPEL. 1. A confirmation of the antagonistic action of atropine and carbachol was obtained. It was expressed by mutually opposed occurrence of the specific fluorescence of the catecholaminergic structures. 2. In 16 out of 20 studied areas of the CNS, carbachol abolished or considerably weakened the specific fluorescence. In 3 areas it was increased by this drug, and one area proved insensitive. 3. Atropine increased the specific fluorescence in the DA (dopaminergic system) areas, while it had varying effects in the NA (noradrenergic system areas. In some areas of the CNS it increased and in others reduced the specific fluorescence of the catecholaminergic structures. 4. An interference between atropine and carbachol is observed, but it seems that the results of the present experiment speak in favour of an interaction between the catecholamine transmitters and ACh in the particular areas of the CNS under the influence of atropine and carbachol. 5. The authors discuss in detail the reactions of the catecholaminergic structures in the particular areas of the CNS, in which, as compared with the control, an increase or a decrease of the specific fluorescence under the influence of the administered drugs was observed. 相似文献

Parietal and occipital cortices, while densely innervated by noradrenalin 2 (NA) projections, possess a comparatively sparse dopamine 2 (DA) innervation, even sparser than the prefrontal cortex. We previously reported that reboxetine and desipramine, two selective norepinephrine transporter (NET) blockers, at doses that maximally increase DA in the prefrontal cortex, do not increase DA in the parietal and occipital cortices. In the present study, we performed a full dose-response study of the effect of systemic reboxetine and desipramine on DA and NA in dialysates from the parietal and occipital cortices. Seven doses of reboxetine (0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0 and 10 mg/kg) and four doses of desipramine (0.25, 1.0, 2.5 and 5.0 mg/kg) were tested. Reboxetine and desipramine differentially affected dialysate DA as compared with NA. Reboxetine increased DA maximally by about 100% after doses of 0.25-0.5 mg/kg and showed a bell-shaped dose-response function in both areas; desipramine did not affect DA in the parietal cortex and increased it in the occipital cortex only at 2.5 mg/kg. NA was maximally increased by 275% by 0.5-2.5 mg/kg reboxetine and by about 300% by 5.0 mg/kg desipramine with a more linear dose-response curve. The mechanism of peculiar dose-response function of dialysate DA after reboxetine and desipramine was further investigated by testing the effect of drugs on dialysate DA and NA under alpha(2) receptor blockade. Under local perfusion of the occipital cortex with idazoxan, an otherwise ineffective dose of reboxetine and desipramine (5 mg/kg) became effective in raising extracellular DA. In contrast, the effect of reboxetine on NA was potentiated, while that of desipramine was not affected. These results suggest that, in the parietal and occipital cortices, extracellular NA, raised by NET blockade, exerts a preferential inhibitory influence on DA release by acting on local alpha(2) receptors, thus accounting for the bell-shaped feature of the dose-response function of drugs on dialysate DA in these areas. 相似文献

Injections of 2 mg of progesterone into ovariectomized estrogen-primed rats significantly increased serum LH and FSH concentrations 3, 5 and 8 hr later. Receptor blockers of noradrenaline (NA), dopamine (DA) or acetylcholine (ACH), phenoxybenzamine (20 mg/kg body weight), pimozide (1mg/kg body weight) or atropine (700 mg/kg body weight), respectively, prevented the progesterone-induced gonadotropin release. On the other hand, none of them blocked the gonadotropin release following unilateral electrochemical stimulation (100 microA for 60 sec) of the medial preoptic area which occurred 0.5 and 1.5 hr later, although pimozide or atropine reduced serum LH concentrations at 4.0 hr after stimulation. Furthermore, the sites of action of NA, DA and ACH with respect to LH release were examined by intracerebral implantation in ovariectomized estrogen-primed rats DA or ACH, when implanted unilaterally into the medial preoptic urea, induced a significant increase in serum LH 5 hr later, whereas NA decreased LH levels. Implantations of NA or ACH into the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis or the medial amygdala increased serum LH although the effect of NA into the latter was not statistically significant. Only implantations of NA among the three substances into the lateral septum induced LH release. These results suggest that all of NA, DA and ACH play stimulatory roles in the regulation of gonadotropin secretion, and that there are regional differences of their effectivenesses in releasing LH within the limbic-preoptic area. 相似文献

The present study investigated the effects of two serotonin (5-HT) uptake inhibitors, citalopram and paroxetine, and of a non-selective noradrenaline (NA) and 5-HT uptake blocker, imipramine, on extracellular NA and dopamine (DA) in the prefrontal cortex (PfCX), parietal cortex (ParCX) and occipital cortex (OccCX). Citalopram, the most selective 5-HT uptake blocker, increased dialysate DA in the OccCX and ParCX but not in the PfCX and this effect was prevented in the OccCX by WAY-100635, an antagonist of serotonin-1A (5-HT(1A)) receptors, but not by dorsal noradrenergic bundle (DNAB) lesions that reduced to unmeasurable levels basal dialysate NA but did not affect dialysate DA. Paroxetine, a less selective 5-HT uptake inhibitor than citalopram, at the dose of 5 mg/kg, increased DA in the OccCX but not in the PfCX; however, at doses of 10 mg/kg, which increase PfCX NA, paroxetine increased DA also in this area. Imipramine increased dialysate DA and NA both in the PfCX and in the OccCX and this effect was abolished by DNAB lesions and was reduced but not abolished by WAY-100635. Administration of doses of reboxetine and citalopram that do not increase DA release in the OccCX if given separately, markedly increased DA when combined. These results indicate that endogenous 5-HT, raised by selective blockade of the 5-HT carrier, can increase extracellular DA in the OccCX and in the ParCX by stimulating 5-HT(1A) receptors independently from the presence of NA terminals, although blockade of 5-HT and NA carrier can strongly interact to raise extracellular DA in this area. These observations are consistent with the existence of DA neurons separate from the NA ones contributing to extracellular DA even in NA-rich/DA poor isocortical areas. 相似文献

神经节苷脂对6-OHDA损毁交感神经末梢的对抗作用 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
单次6-OHDA (15mg/kg.i.p.)注射后24h,可使雌性成年小鼠颌下腺内儿茶酚胺荧光神经末梢几乎完全消失;同时用 HPLC 测得腺体内去甲肾上腺素(NA)和多巴胺(DA)的含量下降至正常值的3—4%以下。随着受损交感神经末梢再生过程,NA 和 DA 水平有缓慢的恢复。在损毁2周时 NA 和 DA 含量分别达到正常水平的50%和28%,且在4周时完全恢复。在注射6-OHDA 的同时,和在损伤后12h 内给动物注射4次神经节苷脂(每次50mg/kg.i.p.)并在其后的一周內每天注射一次,可使颌下腺内 NA 含量维持在正常水平;在损毁后4h 及损毁前4d 开始施用神经节苷脂,也可不同程度地对抗交感神经末梢损伤,但作用强度不如前者。实验结果提示:(1)神经节苷脂通过减弱6-OHDA 及其代谢产物的损伤效应能够保护交感神经末梢膜,它可能还有促损伤末梢再生性长芽的作用;(2)损伤后神经节苷脂处理得越早,其效果越好。 相似文献

Gastric mucosal damage was produced by the intragastric administration of 96% ethanol or 0.6 M HCl. The cytoprotective doses of prostacyclin (PGI2) (5 micrograms/kg), atropine (0.025 mg/kg) or cimetidine (2.5 mg/kg) were given intraperitoneally 30 min before the administration of the necrotizing agents. The animals were killed 1 hr later. The number and severity of gastric mucosal lesions (ulcer) were recorded. At the time of the sacrifice of the animals, superoxide dismutase (SOD) was prepared from the gastric fundic mucosa and its activity was measured. It was found that PGI2 (5 micrograms/kg), atropine (0.025 mg/kg) and cimetidine (2.5 mg/kg) significantly decreased the number and severity of gastric mucosal lesions (ulcers) produced by the intragastric administration of 96% ethanol a 0.6 M HCl, PGI2, atropine, cimetidine, given in cytoprotective doses, significantly mounted the ethanol-induced increase of gastric mucosal SOD activity; PGI2, atropine, cimetidine, given them in cytoprotective doses significantly shunted the HCl-induced decrease of gastric mucosal SOD activity. It has been concluded that; chemically different cytoprotective agents (PGI2, atropine, cimetidine) give rise to similar tendencies in the changes of gastric mucosal SOD activity; both the significant decrease (in the ethanol-model) and the significant increase (in the HCl-model) of this enzyme seem to be involved in the development of gastric mucosal protection by PGI2, atropine and cimetidine. 相似文献

The effect of the GABA receptor agonist γ-hydroxybutyric acid (GHBA) on brain catecholamine concentration was investigated in 1 to 28 day old rats. The infant rats were given GHBA in various doses (375–1500 mg/kg) and the effects on whole brain or regional brain concentration of dopamine (DA) and noradrenaline (NA) were measured. Brain DA concentration increased in a dose-dependent way already from two days of postnatal age. In the regional brain study of the 14- and 28-day-old animals the increase in DA concentration was found to be almost exclusively located in the striatal region. Generally, no changes in NA concentration were found in the whole brain or various brain regions at any of the ages after GHBA. It is concluded that the inhibitory striatal-nigral neurons, utilizing GABA as a transmitter, are functionally developed during early postnatal age. 相似文献

The amphetamine-induced inhibition of brain noradrenaline (NA) containing neurons in the rat locus coeruleus (LC) was pharmacologically analyzed utilizing single unit recording techniques. The presynaptic α-receptor blocking agent yohimbine (10 mg/kg i.p., 30 min before) largely prevented the amphetamine-induced depression of LC units in contrast to prazosin (0.6 mg/kg i.p., 30 min) or phenoxybenzamine (20 mg/kg, 30 min) which both slow preference for postsynaptic α-receptors. The β-receptor blocking agent, propranolol (10 mg/kg, 30 min), as well as the peripherally but not centrally active α-receptor blocking drug phentolamine (10 mg/kg, i.p., 30 min), also did not block the amphetamine effect. The LC inhibition by amphetamine was blocked by pretreatment with reserpine (10 mg/kg, i.p., 5 h), which caused almost total depletion of brain catecholamines. However, unlike the amphetamine-induced inhibition of central dopamine (DA) neurons the NA cell inhibition was not blocked by pretreatment with a tyrosine hydroxylase inhibitor (α-MT, 50 or 250 mg/kg i.p., 30 min). These results suggest that the amphetamine-induced inhibition of NA neurons in the LC is an indirect effect, mediated via activation of central α-receptors of presynaptic character. The lack of antagonism by α-MT indicate that the NA release by amphetamine, unlike its effect on brain DA, is not critically dependent on the rate of tyrosine hydroxylation. Thus the euphoriant action of amphetamine, which is blocked by α-MT, may be associated with release of DA rather than NA in brain. 相似文献

In the present study, we examined whether the vagus nerve is involved in mediating the stimulation of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis by cholinergic muscarinic and nicotinic agonists, carbachol and nicotine. The site of HPA axis muscarinic stimulation was determined using peripheral (i.p.) and intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) administration of carbachol, atropine sulphate (AtrS) and atropine hydrobromide (AtrBr). The i.p. carbachol-(0.5 mg/kg)-induced corticosterone response was significantly reduced by i.p. pretreatment with AtrBr (0.1 mg/kg), but was not diminished by i.c.v. AtrS (0.1 mug). The increase in corticosterone secretion induced by i.c.v. carbachol (2 microg) was totally abolished by i.c.v. pretreatment with AtrS (0.1 microg) but was not altered by i.p. AtrBr. Subdiaphragmatic vagotomy performed 2 weeks earlier substantially decreased the i.p. carbachol (0.2 mg/kg)-induced ACTH response and markedly augmented ACTH and corticosterone response to a higher dose of carbachol (0.5 mg/kg) in comparison with the responses in sham operated rats. Vagotomy abolished the stimulatory effect of i.p. nicotine in a low dose (1 mg/kg) on ACTH and corticosterone secretion; the ACTH response to higher dose (2.5 mg/kg) was considerably reduced, while corticosterone response remained unaffected. These results suggest that carbachol given i.c.v. evokes considerable corticosterone response by stimulation of central cholinergic muscarinic receptors. A major part of the i.p. carbachol-induced corticosterone secretion results from peripheral cholinergic muscarinic receptor stimulation. Subdiaphragmatic vagotomy moderately intensified the carbachol-induced ACTH and corticosterone secretion. Vagotomy significantly reduced the nicotine-induced ACTH secretion, possibly by the involvement of vagal afferents. The nicotine-induced corticosterone secretion is not exclusively regulated by circulating ACTH but by various intra-adrenal regulatory components. 相似文献

The concentrations of dopamine (DA), 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and noradrenaline (NA) in the rat vas deferens divided in eight or four sections were determined by high performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection. Dopamine and NA had the same regional distribution; their concentrations were maximal near the prostatic end and decreased towards the epididymis. The concentration of 5-HT also decreased from the prostatic to the epididimal end, but 5-HT did not follow the same regional distribution as DA and NA. Reserpine (0.02 or 0.2 mg/kg, i.p., 24 hr) and 6-hydroxydopamine (2×80 mg/kg, i.v., 6 days) decreased the contents of DA and NA; the concentrations of both amines were modified to a similar extent. Reserpine also diminished the content of 5-HT. Pargyline (200 mg/kg, i.p., 2 hr) increased the concentration of 5-HT whilep-chlorophenylalanine (300 mg/kg, oral, 3 days) decreased the contents of the amine in some sections of the vas deferens. This study suggests that DA and NA co-exist in the same sympathetic neurons. Some of the 5-HT could be stored in mast cells as previously proposed, but the finding that tissue content of 5-HT changes after inhibiting the deamination or synthesis of the amine suggests that other source(s) of 5-HT distinct from mast cells exist in the rat vas deferens. 相似文献

Wistar rats were given phentolamine into the ventriculus lateralis. The D1 group of rats received a larger dose than the D2 group. The animals were decapitated within 2 hours after phentolamine injection. The FALCK fluorescence technique was applied to demonstrate the fluorescence of catecholaminergic structures. The results in rat brain areas selected according to KONIG and KLIPPEL are shown in figs 10-46. Whereas earlier biochemical experiments did not show any phentolamine-induced changes in the NA level of the whole brain, the present histochemical experiments carried out with the fluorescence technique revealed the influence of phentolamine on individual structures and areas of the NA system. In comparison with the control material in 5 out of 11 areas the fluorescence was much weaker, in 3 it was similar to the control group, and in 3 (1 with a larger dose and 2 with a smaller dose of phentolamine) it was slightly stronger. The simultaneous increase of fluorescence in 6 out of 7 areas of the DA system may indicate a compensatory interaction of these areas as a response to the neuromediator decrease in the NA system. The paper discusses the increase in the intensity of fluorescence induced by a small dose of phentolamine in some brain areas, or by a large dose in others, both these alternatives depending on the neuromediator turnover. 相似文献

The cholinergic influences on the oxytocin activity of the hypothalamus and neurohypophysis in long-term dehydrated male rats. Acta Physiol. Pol., 1978, 29 (1): 17-25. Rats dehydrated up to 12 days were injected intraperitoneally with carbachol or atropine sulfate in daily doses of 20 microgram/100 g and 1.0 mg/100 g, respectively. In not dehydrated rats atropine increased the oxytocin activity of the hypothalamus and neurohypophysis; carbachol did not influence the oxytocin potency of the hypothalamus but augmented it in the neurohypophysis. During long-term dehydration both carbachol and atropine intensified the depletion of oxytocin in the hypothalamus as well as in the neurohypophysis. 相似文献

In our recent studies on nicotine-induced changes in neurotransmitters in brain areas associated with cognitive function using a nicotine dose of 0.5 mg/kg administered subcutaneously to conscious freely moving rats, we found changes in dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin, and their metabolites, in the areas examined. For the present report we examined changes in these neurotransmitters following administration of lower nicotine doses, to test regional differences in nicotine response and possible threshold levels for some effects of nicotine. The doses used were 0.15 mg/kg and 0.03 mg/kg nicotine administered subcutaneously. Nicotine levels in the brain reached peak values in less than 10 min and decreased with a half-life of about 60 min (0.15 mg/kg) or 30 min (0.03 mg/kg) to values below detection limits (1 ng/g), by the later time points of the 0.03 mg/kg experiments. Nicotine-induced dopamine (DA) increase (and increase in DA metabolites) and decrease in 5-HT levels at 0.15 mg/kg were significant in the cortex, less so in the hippocampus. Norepinephrine (NE) increase at 0.15 mg/kg was much less significant than found previously at 0.5 mg/kg. At a low nicotine dose (0.03 mg/kg), the significant changes observed were a decrease in 5-HT in the hippocampus and small increases of DA and NE in the prefrontal cortex and of NE in the medial temporal cortex. In the nucleus accumbens DA, NE, and 5-HT and their metabolites in the ventral tegmental area, mostly DA and metabolites were increased. We conclude that in areas of cognitive function nicotine-induced DA changes are more concentration dependent than changes in NE or 5-HT, and that there are regional differences in neurotransmitter changes induced by nicotine, with NE changes detectable only in the cortex and 5-HT changes only in the hippocampus at a low nicotine dose, indicating significant regional variation in sensitivity to nicotine-induced neurotransmitter changes in brain areas associated with cognitive function. The decrease in 5-HT shows that nicotine also has indirect effects caused by neurotransmitters released by nicotine. The effects of low nicotine dose are more significant in areas of reward function, indicating differences in sensitivity between cognitive and reward functions. 相似文献

The present work studied the effects of dopaminergic and muscarinic receptor agonists and antagonists on rat locomotor activity and catalepsy. Results showed that carbachol at the highest dose used (10 mg/kg, p.o.) decreased and pimozide at the dose used abolished locomotor activity. Atropine at a low dose (1 mg/kg, p.o.) increased and at a high dose decreased this parameter. Mazindol at a high dose also increased locomotor activity. A significant and dose-dependent increase in the time on the bar was observed in animals treated with carbachol or pimozide as compared to controls. The increase observed with pimozide was greater than 60 s. Effects of carbachol on locomotor activity were observed already after the first drug exposure, but the increased time on bar produced by this drug in the test of catalepsy was observed only after repeated exposure (7th day). The effect of the highest dose (10 mg/kg, p.o.) of atropine (decreased activity) as related to the lowest one was evident at the 7th day, but the increased locomotor activity seen at the low dose was detected already at the first day. There was a predominance of the effect of pimozide on the open field as well as on catalepsy after its association with each one of the three doses of carbachol. The association of atropine and mazindol did not seem to alter locomotor activity and catalepsy as related to each drug alone. Our results indicate that interactions between dopaminergic and cholinergic systems play an important role on behavior and motor functions. 相似文献

In anaesthetized dogs renal function was investigated in four successive 20-min periods in four experimental series. (1) In the first series following the first period (serving as control) 2.5 micrograms/kg/min of dopamine (DA) dissolved in 0.5 ml/min of Ringer's solution was infused into the left renal artery (period 2), than during periods 3 and 4. It was found that first (period 2) and second (period 3) doses of DA induced a significant decrease of about 20-30% in renal vascular resistance, and an increase of about 15-25% in renal blood flow. At the same time, systemic arterial blood pressure fell by 10%. The other investigated parameters of the left kidney (Cinulin, CPAH, sodium, potassium and water excretion) did not differ from the respective parameters of the intact right kidney. (2) In the second experimental series following the first period (prior to period 2) 1.0 mg/kg of the DA antagonist EGYT 2509 was administered intravenously. Prior to the period 3 again 1.0 mg/kg of EGYT 2509 and prior to period 4 2.0 mg/kg of EGYT 2509 was given intravenously. During periods 2 through 4 2.5 micrograms/kg/min of DA was infused into the left renal artery. It could be ascertained that EGYT 2509 abolished the renal effects of DA while not inducing any decrease in arterial blood pressure. (3) In the third experimental series, following the control period, prior to periods 2,3 and 4, 1.0 mg/kg, 1.0 mg/kg and 2.0 mg/kg chlorpromazine respectively, was administered i.v. followed by the infusion of DA into the left renal artery. After the administration of chlorpromazine arterial blood pressure and renal vascular resistance fell concomitantly and DA failed to induce any further changes in these parameters. According to our experiments chlorpromazine abolishes the effect of DA on kidney function. (4) In the fourth series, prior to DA infusion the dogs were given 0.5 mg/kg (period 2) then again 0.5 mg/kg and finally 1.0 mg/kg of haloperidol intravenously. Haloperidol decreased arterial blood pressure as well as renal vascular resistance, thus renal blood flow did not change. Renal blood flow could then be increased by DA infused into the left renal artery. It seems that haloperidol could not abolish the vascular effects of DA in the kidney. Our experiments indicate that substance EGYT 2509 possesses the most marked dopaminergic antagonistic effect, chlorpromazine had also been effective, while haloperidol had proved to be practically ineffective. 相似文献

The release of endogenous dopamine (DA) has been measured in the rat striatum following the intracardial administration of various doses of beta-phenylethylamine (PEA) or alpha,alpha-dideutero-beta-phenylethylamine (deuterated PEA). The release was significantly increased for a period of approximately 15 minutes by a dose of 25 mg/kg PEA. Both the dose required to stimulate DA release and the duration of the effect were in good agreement with previously reported behavioral and locomotor effects of administered PEA. When the animals were given 25 mg/kg of deuterated PEA, the increase in DA release was both longer lasting and significantly greater in magnitude than that observed in response to the non-deuterated amine. The results of these experiments provide direct evidence that DA release is stimulated by amounts of PEA known to cause behavioral effects and locomotor activity in rats, and suggest that these effects are likely to be mediated, at least in part, by DA. 相似文献

1. Blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) were recorded in conscious, adrenal demedulated rats. The rats were subjected to a 1-min period of mild "stress", induced by jet-air directed into the experimental cage. The plasma content of noradrenaline (NA), dopamine (DA) and 3, 4-dihydroxy-phenylacetic acid (DOPAC) was determined 1 min after termination of "stress". 2. The presynaptic alpha 2-adrenoceptor antagonist yohimbine (YOH) (10(-7) - 10(-6) mol/kg, given 5 min prior to "stress") did not alter the increase in BP and HR, induced by "stress", when compared to control rats (receiving NaCl instead of YOH at the corresponding time). 3. Pre-treatment with atropine (ATR) (2.5 mg/kg) 5 min before YOH (10(-6) mol/kg) or NaCl increased HR but not BP significantly in both groups of rats. "Stress", as above, gave a significant prolongation of the increase in HR in rats receiving YOH, when compared to control rats. The increase in BP was not significantly altered, compared to controls. 4. The neuronal re-uptake inhibitor desmethylimipramine (DMI) (0.1 mg/kg) was given together with ATR (2.5 mg/kg) 5 min before YOH (10(-6) mol/kg) or NaCl in one group of rats. This treatment induced a significant increase in HR but did not affect BP. "Stress", induced as above, extended the duration of the increase in HR in the YOH-treated rats, compared to controls. The increase in BP was not significantly different between the YOH-treated rats and the controls.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The metabotropic glutamate (mGlu2/3) receptor agonist, LY354740, exhibits anxiolytic-like properties in a number of rodent models. The present study utilized in vivo microdialysis to examine the effects of LY354740 on extracellular monoamine levels in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) of animals subjected to 30 min immobilization stress. Immobilization stress significantly elevated extracellular levels of noradrenaline (NA) and dopamine (DA) in the mPFC, while systemic administration of LY354740 (30 mg/kg, s.c.) significantly attenuated immobilization-induced increases in both NA and DA. Reverse-dialysis of LY354740 (30 microm) into the mPFC significantly attenuated immobilization-induced increases in NA, but not DA without affecting basal levels of either amine. In separate studies in the presence of citalopram (1 microm; reverse dialysis into the mPFC), systemic administration of LY354740 attenuated immobilization-induced increases in NA and DA, but had no effect on serotonin (5-HT) levels. Co-administration of the selective mGlu2/3 receptor antagonist, LY341495, partially or fully reversed the attenuation in NA and DA levels produced by LY354740, respectively. Taken together, these data suggest that LY354740 may produce anti-stress actions, in part, by blocking stress-related increases in catecholamines in the mPFC via mGlu2/3 receptor stimulation. 相似文献

Effect of atropine, PGF2 alpha and cimetidine on the beta-carotene induced cytoprotection in ethanol-treated rats 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of atropine, PGF2 alpha and cimetidine on the gastric cytoprotective effect of beta-carotene. Mucosal damage was produced by intragastric (i.g.) addition of 96% ethanol in CFY-strain rats of both sexes weighing 180-220 g. Gastric cytoprotection caused by i. g. pretreatment with 1.0 mg/kg beta-carotene 30 minutes before ethanol administration, was observed after 1 hour. Atropine (0.5 mg/kg), cimetidine (50 mg/kg) and PGF2 alpha (200 micrograms/kg) were given intraperitoneally (i.p.) 30 minutes before ethanol administration with and without beta-carotene and the changes in the number and severity of the gastric ulcers were detected. PGF2 alpha did not influence the gastric cytoprotective effect of beta-carotene meanwhile it was inhibited by atropine and markedly by cimetidine. Deleterious effect of cimetidine on the beta-carotene-induced cytoprotection may be explained perhaps by the adverse effect of the two compounds on ATP-cAMP transformation hereby counteracting one another, but more data are needed to the better understanding of drug interactions relating to mucosal cytoprotection. 相似文献

Various doses (0, 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, or 25 mg/kg) of methylazoxymethanol acetate (MAM), a potent alkylating agent, were injected singly into pregnant rats intraperitoneally on day 15 of gestation. Relationships between brain weights and neurochemical changes in the cerebral hemispheres (CHs; cerebral cortex and subjacent white matter, hippocampus, amygdala) and remainder of the brain (BGDM; basal ganglia, diencephalon, and mesencephalon) were examined at 60 days of age in offspring; varying degrees of microencephaly were observed. Dose-dependent reductions in the weights of CH and BGDM were observed. Reductions in total DNA content positively correlated with decreases in brain weights also observed. Dose-dependent elevations of noradrenaline (NA) and dopamine (DA) were observed in CH at MAM levels 10 mg/kg and above; dose-dependent elevations of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) were observed at 15 mg/kg and above; and in BGDM at 20 mg/kg and above dose-dependent elevations for NA and 5-HT were observed; dose-dependent elevations at 15 mg/kg and above were observed for DA. Monoamine concentrations were negatively correlated with brain weights or total DNA contents. NA and DA concentrations increased to the extent of approximately 1.3 times of control at a time when an 18% loss of CH weight was noted in animals treated with 10 mg/kg MAM. It is suggested that the above variables might be appropriately sensitive neurochemical markers for detecting minor developmental anomalies in the brain. 相似文献
