Lithium and rhythms of beta-adrenergic ([3H]CGP-12177) binding in intact rat retina, pineal gland, and hypothalamus
Abstract
A new assay technique for the determination of neurotransmitter binding in retinal fragments has been used to characterize and quantify beta-adrenergic receptors with the ligand [3H]CGP-12177. This assay allowed us to quantify beta-adrenergic receptors in the retina, pineal gland, and hypothalamus obtained from individual rats during a 10-hr period around the switch from light to dark under a 12-hr light/12-hr dark lighting cycle. A significant …
