Abstract
Following pulse labeling with [3H]arachidonic acid ([3H]AA), its incorporation pattern in brain reflects regional changes in neurotransmitter signal transduction using phospholipase A2, that is, functional activity. In a rat model of Parkinson's disease, unilateral 6-hydroxydopamine lesion in the substantia nigra, [3H]AA acid incorporation from blood was increased in cerebral cortex, caudate putamen, globus pallidus, entopeduncular nucleus, subthalamic nucleus and substantia nigra pars reticulata ipsilateral to the lesion. This increased [3H]AA incorporation likely reflects disinhibition of basal ganglia and cortical circuits secondary to absent inhibitory nigrostriatal dopaminergic input.
