The influence of age on adipocyte alpha-adrenergic receptors was studied by using the binding of [3H]dihydroergocryptine to crude adipocyte membranes from hamsters of different ages (1-10 months). The number of alpha-receptor sites was found to increase with increasing age, but in contrast, their binding affinity remained unchanged. These changes in receptor concentrations, which were not related to cell-size differences, were also accompanied by parallel variations of the alpha-adrenergic responsiveness of the fat-cells.
通过利用[3H]二氢麦角隐亭与不同年龄(1 - 10个月)仓鼠的粗脂肪细胞膜结合,研究了年龄对脂肪细胞α - 肾上腺素能受体的影响。发现α - 受体位点的数量随年龄增长而增加,但相比之下,它们的结合亲和力保持不变。这些受体浓度的变化与细胞大小差异无关,同时脂肪细胞的α - 肾上腺素能反应性也出现了相应的变化。
