The aim: To find out density of melatonin receptors 1A in the neurons of the lateral preoptic nucleus of the hypothalamus in mature and old rats under various light conditions.Materials and methods: The study was carried out on 72 albino mature and old rats with light conditions appropriate for the experiment. To find out circadian differences of melatonin receptors 1A the material for the study was taken at 2 p.m. and 2 a.m. Visualization of primary antibodies against melatonin receptors 1A (Abcam) was conducted by means of the polymeric system Dako and diaminobenzidine staining under the microscope Delta Optical Evolution 100. The intensity of staining was assessed on the digital copies of images according to computer microdensitometry method.Results: Immunohistochemical examinations conducted enable to suggest that melatonin receptors 1A in the neurons of the lateral preoptic nucleus of the hypothalamus respond to different light conditions. In particular, intensity of immunohistochemical staining to melatonin receptors 1A under conditions of light deprivation increases both in mature and old rats, but it decreases under conditions of light stimulation. The parameter is higher at 2 a.m. as compared with 2 p.m. Intensity of immunohistochemical staining to melatonin receptors 1A in the neurons of the lateral preoptic nucleus of the hypothalamus is always lower in old rats than in mature ones.Conclusions: Density of melatonin receptors 1A in the neurons of the lateral preoptic nucleus of the hypothalamus is subordinated to the circadian rhythm: it increases at night and decreases in the daytime. At the same time, light stimulation results in disorders of the rhythm and development of desynchronization. |
