Binding capacity of 5-HT_(1A) receptor in central nervous system and hypertension in rats / 第二军医大学学报

ABSTRACT

40 weeks old SHR did not differ from that in slices of age matched WKY. B max was increased in the same brain region of SHR when compared to WKY. That rats of 4 5 weeks were in prehypertensive stage;rats of 10 12 weeks and above were at the stage of establishing hypertensive stage. Conclusion: The difference between SHR and normotensive rats in 5 HT 1A receptor binding in various brain regions may be related to the development of hypertension. When blood pressure changes,binding capacity of 5 HT 1A receptor in CNS changes accordingly.
