1 administration of ethylcholine mustard aziridinium (AF64A) and of the monoamine oxidase (MAO)-B inhibitor L-deprenyl on the acetylcholine (ACh) biosynthetic enzyme choline acetyltransferase (ChAT), on the ACh catabolic enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and on the density of ACh muscarinic M-1 and M-2 receptor sites. Selegiline acetylcholinesterase Rattus norvegicus
2 administration of ethylcholine mustard aziridinium (AF64A) and of the monoamine oxidase (MAO)-B inhibitor L-deprenyl on the acetylcholine (ACh) biosynthetic enzyme choline acetyltransferase (ChAT), on the ACh catabolic enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and on the density of ACh muscarinic M-1 and M-2 receptor sites. Acetylcholine acetylcholinesterase Rattus norvegicus
3 In addition, the effect of AF64A and of L-deprenyl treatment on the localization of AChE activity in the CA-1 and CA-3 fields of the hippocampus was evaluated by combined enzyme histochemistry and microdensitometry techniques. ethylcholine aziridinium acetylcholinesterase Rattus norvegicus
4 In addition, the effect of AF64A and of L-deprenyl treatment on the localization of AChE activity in the CA-1 and CA-3 fields of the hippocampus was evaluated by combined enzyme histochemistry and microdensitometry techniques. Selegiline acetylcholinesterase Rattus norvegicus
5 injection of AF64A induced, 4 weeks after administration of the neurotoxin, a remarkable increase of MAO-B activity, and a significant reduction of ChAT and AChE activities in the hippocampus but not in the neostriatum which was used as a reference tissue. ethylcholine aziridinium acetylcholinesterase Rattus norvegicus
6 The expression of ChAT and AChE, as well as the density of M-2 receptors, was increased after L-deprenyl administration in the hippocampus but not in the neostriatum. Selegiline acetylcholinesterase Rattus norvegicus
7 An increase in AChE reactivity was noticeable in the CA-1 and CA-3 fields of the hippocampus of AF64A-injected rats treated with L-deprenyl. Selegiline acetylcholinesterase Rattus norvegicus
