Abstract
There are some rather conflicting reports correlating ECS-induced changes of brain acetylcholine, and recently, Zawia and Bondy(1990) proposed the biological role of polyamine system in the long-term adaptive responses of brain to electrical stimulation. This study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of a single or repeated ECS(10mA, 100cps, 1sec; 5 ECS spread out over 9 days) on the brain acetylcholine(ACh) and polyamine contents of male mice. The ACh contents of temporal cortex(TCx) and decorticated cerebrum(dc-CB) were markedly increased by 79.9% and 49.4%, respectively, 10 and 30 min after ECS, and the increases were significantly attenuated with repeated 5 ECS, particularly in dc-CB. The putrescine concentrations of both TCx and dc-CB were little different and not affected by 1 ECS or 5 ECS. But the spermidine(Sd) concentration was higher in dc-CB and spermine(Sm) higher in TCx. While they were moderately decreased after 1 ECS, and their decreases were accentuated after 5 ECS, particularly in dc-CB.Sm(30mg/kg, i.p. inject. 30min before ECS) did not affect the ECS-induced increase of ACh content. Thease results suggest that both of brain ACh and polyamine may be implicated with the long-term adaptive responses to electrical stimulation
뇌에 대한 경련성 전기충격(electroconvulsive shock: ECS)을 이용한 치료가 시작된 후, 50여년에 걸처 이의 생물학적 작용에 대한 연구가 있었으나, 이렇다할 결과가 아직 없으며, 특히 뇌의 신경전달물질중 가장 중요한 것으로 인정되는 acetylcholine의 함량이 ECS로 증가되는지 감소되는지 확실치 않다. 더욱이, 대체로 조직의 재생능에 비례하는 함량의 증감을 보이는 polyamine함량이 가장 재생능이 미약한 뇌에 고농도로 있으며 뇌의 국소에 따라서도 그 함량에 큰 차가 있고, 뇌의 polyamine-합성 또한 ECS에 의하여 촉진된다고 하는데, 최근에 Zawia와 Bondy는 polyamine-대사가 뇌-신경의 장기적 적응현상에 관련됨을 제시하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 웅성 ICR계 생쥐에 ECS(13mA, 100cps, 1sec)를 단회(1 ECS)-부하하여 나타나는 변동을 검색하고 그 결과를 5회(매일 1회씩 이틀마다 5회: 5 ECS)-부하하여 얻은 것과 비교-검토하였다. 측뇌-피질(temporal cortex:
