Correlation of [3H]diazepam binding density with anxiolytic locus in the amygdaloid complex of the rat.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using [3H]diazepam binding, high concentrations of receptors were found in the frontal cortex and lateral amygdala. Infusions of chlordiazepoxide into the lateral amygdala induced a release of responding measured during the component of a conditioned emotional response task previously associated with an aversive stimulus. The lateral amygdala appears to be an important component of the forebrain circuitry involved in the expression of anxiety and sensitive to benzodiazepine drugs.

Optimum Conditions of Radioligand Receptor Binding Assay of Ligands of Benzodiazepine Receptors
To obtain drugs which are more selective at benzodiazepine (BZD) receptors, design and synthesis of functionally selective ligands for BZD receptors is the current strategy of our pharmaceutical chemistry department. The affinity of newly synthesized ligands is assessed by radioligand receptor binding assays. Based on our previous studies, 2-phenyl-5-oxo-7-methyl-1,3,4-oxadiazolo[a,2,3]-pyrimid...

متن کاملSpecific benzodiazepine receptors in rat brain characterized by high-affinity (3H)diazepam binding.
[3H]Diazepam appears to bind specifically to a single, saturable, binding site located on rat brain membranes, with an affinity constant near 3 nM at pH 7.4. Specific binding constitutes more than 90% of total binding at 0 degrees and less than 10% of total binding at 37 degrees. Arrhenius plots suggest a sharp conformational change in the diazepam receptor near 18 degrees. Mitochondrial fracti...
متن کاملReduction of cell size in amygdaloid complex of the Wistar rat embryos after oral morphine consumption
Introduction: In the present study, the effects of oral morphine consumption in pregnant female rats on the amygdaloid complex development in the embryos were investigated. Methods: Female Wistar rats weighing 250-300 g (n=15) were divided into control (n = 8) and experimental groups (n = 7). The experimental group received morphine (0.05 mg/ml) in their tap water. On the 19th day of pregnan...
متن کاملBenzodiazepine receptors: localization in rat amygdala.
Behavioral, electroencephalographic, and evoked potential studies, as well as experiments utilizing the direct intracerebral injection of benzodiazepines (BZs), have implicated the amygdala, particularly its basolateral nuclear division, as an important locus of the therapeutic actions of these drugs. BZ receptor localization within the amygdala could further define which amygdaloid nuclei are ...
