D1-dopamine receptor abnormality in frontal cortex points to a functional alteration of cortical cell membranes in Alzheimer’s disease

De Keyser, J., Ebinger, G., Vauquelin, G.·1990·Archives of Neurology

Abstract

D1-dopamine receptors and their high-agonist affinity (RH) sites were determined in postmortem-obtained frontal cortex from seven patients with histopathologically confirmed Alzheimer's disease and from seven controls matched for sex, age, and postmortem delay. Total D1-dopamine receptor concentration was unchanged in patients with Alzheimer's disease compared with controls, but the RH sites were significantly reduced in number. Since the RH sites are thought to represent a conformational change of the receptors, induced by the interaction of agonist-bound receptor with a signal transduction protein located in the cell membrane, the reduced ratio of RH sites to total receptors suggests a functional alteration of cortical cell membranes in Alzheimer's disease. Such a cell membrane abnormality might explain why substitution therapy in Alzheimer's disease has been largely disappointing.

  • Dopaminergic neurotransmission, centrally implicated in the brain reward system and known to decline with aging, plays important roles in non-pharmacological strategies aimed to improve age-related cognitive decline, such as environmental enrichment and physical exercise.

    “dopaminergic neurotransmission, centrally implicated in the brain reward system and known to decline with aging (De Keyser et al., 1990), plays important roles in non-pharmacological strategies aimed to improve age-related cognitive decline, such as environmental enrichment and physical exercise (van Praag et al., 2000).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
