Abstract
The responsiveness of cerebral cortical alpha 1-adrenoceptors and cholinergic muscarinic M1 receptors was assessed in young (3 months) and aged (24 months) male Sprague-Dawley rats. The measure of responsiveness was the accumulation of inositol phosphate (IP) formed in [3H]myo-inositol-preloaded cerebral cortical slices in the presence of lithium, following stimulation with various concentrations of noradrenaline (1-300 microM) and carbachol (5-1000 microM). In old rats the maximum response to noradrenaline was higher by 80%, and that to carbachol by 33%, indicating an increased responsiveness of the investigated receptors in senescence.Entities:
