OBJECTIVE To clarify the role of N-methyl-D: -aspartate (NMDA) receptors upon [(14)C]acetate uptake in the rodent central nervous system (CNS), ibotenic acid (IBO) was infused into the right striatum of the rat brain. METHODS Autoradiograms of [(14)C]acetate uptake in the brain for 2 h following the infusion of IBO (10 microg/microl) were obtained in both non-treated and MK-801 (1 mg/kg, i.v.) pretreated rats. The effect of MK-801 on [(14)C]acetate uptake in the normal rat brain was also studied. RESULTS Infusion of IBO significantly decreased [(14)C]acetate uptake in the infused side of the striatum. The expression of monocarboxylate transporter-1 was not altered, suggesting that the activity of tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle in glial cells might be depressed. Pretreatment with MK-801 completely blocked the decreasing effect of IBO on [(14)C]acetate uptake. MK-801 also increased [(14)C]acetate uptake in the whole brain of normal rats. CONCLUSIONS These results indicate the important roles of NMDA receptors on [(14)C]acetate uptake in the intact rat brain.

D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.

D002250 Carbon Radioisotopes Unstable isotopes of carbon that decay or disintegrate emitting radiation. C atoms with atomic weights 10, 11, and 14-16 are radioactive carbon isotopes. Radioisotopes, Carbon
D003342 Corpus Striatum Striped GRAY MATTER and WHITE MATTER consisting of the NEOSTRIATUM and paleostriatum (GLOBUS PALLIDUS). It is located in front of and lateral to the THALAMUS in each cerebral hemisphere. The gray substance is made up of the CAUDATE NUCLEUS and the lentiform nucleus (the latter consisting of the GLOBUS PALLIDUS and PUTAMEN). The WHITE MATTER is the INTERNAL CAPSULE.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D014018 Tissue Distribution Accumulation of a drug or chemical substance in various organs (including those not relevant to its pharmacologic or therapeutic action). This distribution depends on the blood flow or perfusion rate of the organ, the ability of the drug to penetrate organ membranes, tissue specificity, protein binding. The distribution is usually expressed as tissue to plasma ratios. Distribution, Tissue,Distributions, Tissue,Tissue Distributions
D016194 Receptors, N-Methyl-D-Aspartate A class of ionotropic glutamate receptors characterized by affinity for N-methyl-D-aspartate. NMDA receptors have an allosteric binding site for glycine which must be occupied for the channel to open efficiently and a site within the channel itself to which magnesium ions bind in a voltage-dependent manner. The positive voltage dependence of channel conductance and the high permeability of the conducting channel to calcium ions (as well as to monovalent cations) are important in excitotoxicity and neuronal plasticity.
