Abstract:
:Rats were treated with ethanol in the drinking fluid 2 X 1 h daily for 83 weeks. [3H]Muscimol, [3H]quinuclidinyl benzilate ( [3H]QNB) and [3H]nicotine binding was measured in selected brain areas 7, 14 and 21 days after withdrawal of ethanol. A significant increase (P less than 0.05) when compared to controls was found on day 7 in both [3H]-QNB binding in the cortex and high affinity [3H]muscimol binding in the cerebellum. Furthermore, on day 7 of abstinence there was a positive correlation in number of binding sites between [3H]muscimol (high affinity sites; cerebellum) and [3H]QNB (cortex) while a negative correlation was found between [3H]muscimol (low affinity sites; cerebellum) and [3H]nicotine (cortex). The first correlation might indicate a relation between increased excitation (QNB) and increased inhibition (muscimol) in two brain areas.
