Abstract: | We have investigated the effects of early and delayed weaning on the development of the rat pancreatic muscarinic receptors. Weaning after 12, 14 and 16 complete days resulted in significantly increased concentrations of muscarinic receptors. Milk feeding, as the exclusive source of food, from day 12 to 23, 25 or 28, was associated with slight non significant decreases in receptor concentration. In both instances, early or delayed weaning, the apparent KDs of (3H-QNB binding were not affected. It is suggested that early solid food intake can modulate rapidly the pancreatic muscarinic receptor population while exclusive milk feeding does not seem to influence the dynamic of the muscarinic receptor population. |
