Abstract: | The recovery rate of striatal dopamine receptors following blockade by N-ethoxycarbonyl-2-ethoxy-1, 2-dihydroquinoline (EEDQ) is reduced by 25–35% in striata from senescent Wistar rats when compared to mature counterparts. No differences in binding affinity for [3H]-spiperone were observed for the different age groups at various times after EEDQ injection. These results suggest that loss of striatal dopamine receptors during aging may be due to a decreased biosynthetic rate. |
