Abstract:
:The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of activation of metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR) on the extracellular concentrations of GABA and acetylcholine in the prefrontal cortex of freely moving rats of different groups of age. Perfusion, through the microdialysis probe, of the agonist of mGluR, (1S,3R)-1-aminocyclopentane-1,3-dicarboxylic acid (ACPD; 100, 500 and 1000 microM), in the prefrontal cortex of young rats produced a dose-related increase of the dialysate concentrations of GABA. The effects of perfusion of ACPD on the concentrations of GABA were attenuated in middle-aged rats. In the prefrontal cortex of aged rats, perfusion of ACPD produced no changes in dialysate concentrations of GABA at any of the doses used. Conversely, perfusion of ACPD (100, 500 and 1000 microM) in the prefrontal cortex of young, middle-aged and aged rats did not modify the dialysate concentrations of acetylcholine. Basal concentrations of acetylcholine in the prefrontal cortex of middle-aged and aged rats were significantly lower than those in young rats. In contrast, basal dialysate concentrations of GABA were not significantly different in young, middle-aged and aged rats. These results suggest that the interaction GABA-glutamate in the prefrontal cortex, mediated by mGluRs, changes with age.
