We studied the involvement of endogenous ORL1 (NOP) receptors in the anxiety state. In mice selected as "anxious" and "non-anxious", ORL1 (NOP) receptor has been analysed by means of two autoradiographic approaches: [3H]nociceptin binding and nociceptin-stimulated [35S]GTPgammaS binding. We show that differences in anxiety state are associated with differences in G protein coupling efficiency of ORL1 (NOP) receptor in the nucleus accumbens, without any change in the density of the receptors.
我们研究了内源性孤啡肽受体1(NOP)在焦虑状态中的作用。在被选为“焦虑”和“非焦虑”的小鼠中,通过两种放射自显影方法分析了孤啡肽受体1(NOP):[3H]孤啡肽结合和孤啡肽刺激的[35S]GTPγS结合。我们发现,焦虑状态的差异与伏隔核中孤啡肽受体1(NOP)的G蛋白偶联效率差异有关,而受体密度没有任何变化。
