Acute ethanol treatment produces a significant decrease of specific 3H-GABA binding in cerebellum while no changes were detectable in other brain areas. Scatchard analysis shows a decrease in receptor affinity but not in the number of GABA binding sites. On the other hand, chronic administration of ethanol selectively increases specific 3H-GABA binding in the striatum. Kinetic analysis of these data shows that ethanol chronic administration produces a significant increase in the number of GABA binding sites. These data may be useful for the understanding of clinical pictures following acute and chronic ethanol intoxication.

Abstract

Acute ethanol treatment produces a significant decrease of specific 3H-GABA binding in cerebellum while no changes were detectable in other brain areas. Scatchard analysis shows a decrease in receptor affinity but not in the number of GABA binding sites. On the other hand, chronic administration of ethanol selectively increases specific 3H-GABA binding in the striatum. Kinetic analysis of these data shows that ethanol chronic administration produces a significant increase in the number of GABA binding sites. These data may be useful for the understanding of clinical pictures following acute and chronic ethanol intoxication.
