Audiogenic seizures: increased benzodiazepin receptor binding in a susceptible strain of mice.
European Journal of Pharmacology 1980 August 30
Brain benzodiazepine receptor binding was determined in two inbred strains of mice, one of which is susceptible to audiogenic seizures. Specific binding of 3H-flunitrazepam was higher in the seizure-susceptible DBA/2J strain (at about 22 days of age) when compared to age-matched, seizure-resistant C57BL/6J mice. Like seizure susceptibility, the differences in benzodiazepine binding were age-related. The DBA/2J strain had higher benzodiazepine binding whether convulsed or not. In well-washed brain membrane fragments specific 3H-flunitrazepam binding was also higher in the DBA/2J strain suggesting that the difference was not due to the presence of an endogenous ligand. The higher benzodiazepine binding in the DBA/2J strain was due to a higher benzodiazepine receptor density (Bmax) in this strain. These results suggest that a disorder of the GABA/benzodiazepam receptor complex may be involved in the seizure susceptibility of the DBA/2J strain.
