Description

3H-QNB and 3H-GABA were used as radioactive ligand for M-and GABA receptors respectively. M-and GABA receptors were assayed by radioligand binding assay (RBA) in cerebral cortex, hippocampus and cerebellum of analogue dementia rats. It was found that Rt of M receptor was decreased in cerebral cortex and hippocampus and Rt of GABA receptor was decreased in cerebellum of analogue dementia rats. The dissociation constant (KD) of M-receptor was decreased significantly in cerebral cortex and KD value of (GABA) receptor was decreased in cerebellum of analogue dementia rats. The decreased Rt of M-and GABA receptor in brain tissue of analogue dementia rats was raised by Heart- and Kidney-Benefiting Chinese Herbs as well as hydergin
