The present study investigates the effect of acute ethanol and acetaldehyde administration on neuronal L-type calcium channels by measuring the binding of 3H-nitrendipine (3H-NTP). Acute ethanol (3 g/kg orally) transiently increases (+40% at 40 min) 3H-NTP binding. Acetaldehyde has a similar effect, but the onset of action is shorter; in fact the binding increase peaks 15 min following administration and is completely reversible within 2 hours. Disulfiram pretreatment does not modify the effect produced by acute ethanol on 3H-NTP binding. The results indicate that acetaldehyde may participate in mediating the action of ethanol on voltage sensitive L-type calcium channels with consequent alterations of neuronal excitability.
本研究通过测量³H-尼群地平(³H-NTP)的结合情况,探讨急性给予乙醇和乙醛对神经元L型钙通道的影响。急性给予乙醇(口服3 g/kg)可使³H-NTP结合短暂增加(40分钟时增加40%)。乙醛有类似作用,但起效时间较短;实际上,给药后15分钟结合增加达到峰值,2小时内完全可逆。双硫仑预处理不改变急性乙醇对³H-NTP结合产生的作用。结果表明,乙醛可能参与介导乙醇对电压敏感性L型钙通道的作用,从而改变神经元兴奋性。
