In vivo effects of DFP on hippocampal ChE, FAAH, MAGL and CB1 receptor binding.
Treatmenta | ChEb | FAAHc | MAGLd | CB1e |
---|---|---|---|---|
Vehicle | 78.1 ± 3.4 (100) | 0.72 ± 0.02 (100) | 1.10 ± 0.07 (100) | 0.14 ± 0.01 (100) |
DFP | 8.7 ± 0.6 (11)* | 0.42 ± 0.03 (58)* | 1.08 ± 0.14 (98) | 0.13 ± 0.01 (93) |
Rats (n=5/treatment group) were treated with either peanut oil (1 ml/kg, sc) or DFP in peanut oil (2.5 mg/kg) and sacrificed 24 hours later. Both sides of the hippocampus were dissected and frozen separately until assay. An asterisk indicates a significant difference between control and DFP-treated tissues. Values in parentheses represent percent of control.
Cholinesterase activity is reported as nmol acetylcholine hydrolyzed/min˙mg protein (mean ± SE).
FAAH activity is reported as nmol anadamide hydrolyzed/min˙mg protein (mean ± SE).
MAGL activity is reported as nmol 2-oleoyl glycerol hydrolyzed/min˙mg protein (mean ± SE).
CB1 receptor binding data are presented as pmol [3H]CP 55,940 bound/mg protein ± SE.
