摘要:
In order to verify whether striatal group I metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptors undergo functional alteration in ageing, the effects induced by the selective agonist 3,5-dihydroxyphenylglycine (DHPG) in the striatum of young (3 months) and aged (24-25 months old) rats were compared. The ability of DHPG to stimulate phosphoinositide (PI) hydrolysis (striatal slices), to influence striatal dopamine release (in vivo microdialysis) and to potentiate the effects of NMDA on extracellular field potential amplitude (extracellular recordings on striatal slices) was reduced in the striatum of old vs young rats. These results show an age-dependent reduction in the functional response of striatal group 1 mGlu receptors. which may be one of the factors underlying the reduced ability of aged striatum to integrate information.
