Striatal D2 dopamine receptor concentrations were shown to decrease 30-35% during the lifespan of Wistar rats as assessed both radiochemically and autoradiographically. Binding densities and degree of age-change varied within the striatum; the latter ranging from 17 to 44% in 4 different regions. Overall neuronal loss during aging was 19%, and also varied considerably within the different striatal regions. Thus, it appears that neuronal loss may account for up to roughly half of the striatal D2 receptor loss during aging.
通过放射化学和放射自显影评估显示,在Wistar大鼠的生命周期中,纹状体D2多巴胺受体浓度降低了30%-35%。纹状体内的结合密度和年龄变化程度各不相同;在4个不同区域中,后者的变化范围为17%至44%。衰老过程中总体神经元损失为19%,在不同的纹状体区域中也有很大差异。因此,似乎神经元损失可能占衰老过程中纹状体D2受体损失的大约一半。
