The effects of clonidine on a high K+-induced release of noradrenaline (NA) were studied in 70-d- and 2-year-old rats. Treatment with 0.1 and 1.0 microM clonidine significantly (p less than 0.01) inhibited 20 mM KCl-evoked L-[3H]NA release from cerebral cortical slices in 70-d-old rats. The amounts of high K+-evoked L-[3H]NA release were markedly decreased at 2 years, compared to that at 70 d. In addition, the inhibitory effects of clonidine on high K+-evoked L-[3H]NA release were no longer observed in 2-year-old animals. These results suggested that presynaptic functions, including the modulation of NA release by alpha 2-adrenoceptors, could become low in the brains of the 2-year-old rats.
研究了可乐定对70日龄和2岁大鼠高钾诱导的去甲肾上腺素(NA)释放的影响。用0.1和1.0微摩尔可乐定处理可显著(p<0.01)抑制70日龄大鼠大脑皮层切片中20毫摩尔氯化钾诱发的L-[3H]NA释放。与70日龄时相比,2岁时高钾诱发的L-[3H]NA释放量明显减少。此外,在2岁动物中不再观察到可乐定对高钾诱发的L-[3H]NA释放的抑制作用。这些结果表明,包括α2-肾上腺素能受体对NA释放的调节在内的突触前功能在2岁大鼠的大脑中可能会降低。
