Description

125I-IBZM autoradiographic analysis, HPLC-ECD were used to study the relationship between D2 receptors and the content of DA, HVA, DOPAC in striatum of hemi-parkinsonism model rats before and after Madopar treatment. After Madopar treatment, the striatum/cerebellum 125I-IBZM uptake ratio of lesioned side was 7.23 +- 0.67, showed 17.22 +- 3.94% increasing as compared to the contralateral side, the increasing were significantly declined compared with the pretreatment group and control group (P<0.01). The DA, HVA, DOPAC levels in lesioned side striatum of Madopar group were increased compared with the other two groups (P<0.05). All of the above verified that Madopar treatment can elevate DA levels of lesioned striatum in hemi-parkinsonism model rats, and thus prevent and reverse the up-regulation of D2 receptors
