Abstract
The effect of hyperphenylalaninemia on the development of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor in rat cerebrum has been studied. Rats were subjected to the hyperphenylalaninemic regimen as of 5 days of age. A gradual and steady decrease in the number of binding sites for L-[3H]quinuclidinylbenzilate was observed, with the white matter more affected than the gray matter. A return to normal blood phenylalanine levels after the age of 21 days does not lead to an increase in this number of binding sites.Entities:
