Comparison of adrenergic receptor densities in the juvenile control rats compared with control adult rats
Binding site densities in juvenile rats are expressed as a percentage of that seen in adult rats.
Adrenergic Receptor Subtype | PND 13 | PND 35 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cortex | PFC | Cortex | PFC | |||
| α-1 | 56* | N.D. | 124* | N.D. | ||
| α-2 | 110* | 81* | 124 | 94 | ||
| β | 70* | 71* | 121 | 132 | ||
N.D. indicates brain areas that were not analyzed.
↵* Significantly different (p < 0.05) than Bmax values in the control adult rat cortical samples using the Student's t test.
