Abstract:
:Convulsions were induced in rats by a single injection of pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) and [3H]L-2-amino-4-phosphonobutyrate ([3H]L-AP4) in vitro receptor autoradiography was used to evaluate the effects on the expression of group III metabotropic glutamate receptors. Significant increases by 60-80% in [3H]L-AP4 binding was observed in the frontal parts of cortex (sensory, motor and cingulate cortex) and by 28% in the molecular layer of the cerebellar cortex 24 h after PTZ-induced seizures. Since group III metabotropic glutamate receptors has an inhibitory effect on glutamatergic transmission, the observed increases in binding may indicate that these receptors serve as a mechanism for preventing further seizure activity.
