Selective neurochemical and histological lesions in rat hippocampus following chronic trimethyltin exposure. 1983

J J Valdes, and C F Mactutus, and R M Santos-Anderson, and R Dawson, and Z Annau

Trimethyltin exerts a unique and selective pattern of toxicity which may be related to the neurochemical innervation of the hippocampus. Rats were chronically administered trimethyltin and the kinetics of neurotransmitter uptake was assessed in hippocampal synaptosomes. Additional rats were prepared for histological examination. Uptake of the endogenous hippocampal amino acid neurotransmitters glutamic acid and gamma-aminobutyric acid showed dose-dependent alterations. Uptake of norepinephrine was not significantly affected. Histopathological analysis indicated differential neuronal loss within classically defined hippocampal cell fields.

D009638 Norepinephrine Precursor of epinephrine that is secreted by the ADRENAL MEDULLA and is a widespread central and autonomic neurotransmitter. Norepinephrine is the principal transmitter of most postganglionic sympathetic fibers, and of the diffuse projection system in the brain that arises from the LOCUS CERULEUS. It is also found in plants and is used pharmacologically as a sympathomimetic.
