Cysteamine normalizes cerebral somatostatin level and binding in pentylenetetrazol-kindled rats
Abstract
Rats were kindled by intraperitoneal injection of pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) every 48 h. Once kindled, some of the animals received a single injection of cysteamine. Somatostatin-like immunoreactivity (SLI) and {sup 125}I-Tyr{sup 11} -somatostatin binding were measured in the frontoparietal cortex and hippocampus of the two experimental groups and the control rats. After PTZ kindling the following was observed: (1) SLI content was increased int he two areas; (2) Somatostatin receptor affinity decreased in the frontoparietal cortex and was unaltered in the hippocampus; (3) The number of somatostatin receptors decreased in the hippocampus and was unaltered in the frontoparietal cortex. Cysteamine, an agent which depletes brain somatostatin and suppresses kindled seizures in PTZ-treated rats, revered the altered SLI levels and binding in these rats.
