Figure 5. MK-801 and chronic lithium block NMDA stimulation of arachidonic acid signal in rat brain.

Figure 5

AA incorporation coefficients k* in autoradiographs of coronal brain sections. Two left columns: rats on a control diet, that had been injected i.p. with saline or 50 mg/kg NMDA. Two central columns: rats on a control diet injected with MK-801 or NMDA following MK-801; Two right columns: rats on a LiCl diet injected with saline or NMDA. NMDA increased k* in rats on the control diet, but not in rats pretreated with MK-801 or in rats fed the LiCl diet.
