Temporal Characteristics of Stress-Induced Decrease in Benzodiazepine Reception in C57Bl/6 and BALB/c Mice

  • Published:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

We studied the duration of the drop of specific 3H-flunitrazepam binding by synaptosomal membranes from the brain of C57Bl/6 and BALB/c mice after open-field and “contact with predator” tests. It was found that reduced benzodiazepine reception in BALB/c mice after open-field test persisted for 1.5 h, but no changes of this parameter were found in C57Bl/6 mice. After contact with predator, the binding capacity of the benzodiazepine site of GABAA receptor was reduced for 8 h in BALB/c mice and for 24 h in C57Bl/6 mice.
