Localization of glycine and beta-adrenergic receptors in the rat brain.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The localization of glycine (GR) and adrenergic receptors (AdR) was examined in the rat brain using a monoclonal antibody against the affinity purified glycine receptor and a polyclonal antibody against purified beta2-AdR. GR were concentrated in the lower brainstem, whereas no immunoreactivity was observed in the diencephalon and forebrain except in a few diencephalic nuclei. The highest density was found in the cranial motor nuclei, reticular formation, parabrachial area, dorsal and ventral cochlear nuclei, and dorsal and ventral tegmental nuclei. On the other hand, AdR were widely but unevenly distributed in the rat brain. The present study further showed the presence of AdR in catecholaminergic terminals in the hypothalamus.

The Role of Adrenergic Receptors on Neural Excitability and Synaptic Plasticity: A Narrative Review
Adrenergic receptors have an important role in neural excitability and synaptic plasticity. Despite a lot of studies on these receptors, their exact role in brain disorders accompanied with hyperexcitability has not been determined. There are also controversies on their role in synaptic plasticity. In this review article, the important studies done in this regard have been reviewed to achieve a...

متن کاملRole of the AMPA receptors of paragigantocellularis lateralis nucleus in the inflammatory pain modulation in male rat
Introduction: The 17β-estradiol acts as a neurosteroid in the brain and modulates nociception by binding to the estrogen receptors and also by allosteric interaction with other membrane-bound receptors like glutamate receptors. Paragigantocellularis lateralis nucleus (LPGi) is one of the important brain regions implicated in the pain modulation. So, this study was designed to evaluate the ...

Background: In previous studies, the neuroprotective effect of 17&beta-estradiol in diffuse traumatic brain injury has been shown. This study used ICI 182,780, a non-selective estrogen receptor antagonist, to test the hypothesis that the neuroprotective effect of 17&beta-estradiol in traumatic brain injury is mediated by the estrogen receptors. Methods: The ovariectomized rats were divided into...

Several lines of evidence have indicated that many nuclei in the brain including preoptic nucleus, AV3V, subfornical organ, septal area and lateral hypothalamus are the targets of efferents from chemo-sensitive and pressure-sensitive systems. These areas may concern with regulation of fluid homeostasis. In the present study, intracerebroventricular injections were carried out in all experiments...
