Using quantitative autoradiography, it was previously observed that chronic food restriction alters μ and κ receptor binding in several regions of the rat forebrain. The present autoradiographic study was designed to investigate whether food restriction affects regional μ and κ binding in the brainstem. [3H]DAGO (It,) and μ/δ blocked [3H]BMZ (κ) binding were analyzed in 21 brainstem regions. A signficant decrease in μ binding was observed in the external lateral and external medial subnuclei of the parabrachial nucleus while a significant increase in κ binding was observed in the external lateral subnucleus. The possible functional significance of these changes is discussed. |
