Abstract

The influence of hypothyroidism (HO) induced by treatment with propylthiouracil on lipid composition, receptor responsiveness of M1-muscarinic receptors (M(1)AChRs) and metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) as well as on protein kinase C (PKC) activity was investigated in the cerebral cortex of Lewis rats. HO did not influence the lipid composition. There was a significant 2-fold increase of efficacy and 6-fold decrease of potency of carbachol-induced inositol phosphate (IF) accumulation in HO, with respect to control rats. The efficacy of trans-(1S,3R)-1-amino-1,3-cyclopentanedicarboxylic acid (ACPD)-induced IP accumulation was also higher in HO (by 50%), without differences in EC50 values. The activities of soluble calcium-dependent and calcium-independent PKC were higher in HO than in control rats (both roughly 30%); membrane-associated PKCs were not modified. The data indicate that HO induces an increased responsiveness of M(1)AChRs and mGluRs and a rise in the soluble PKC activity that could be available and ready for translocation.
