Regional levels of cyclic AMP in rat brain: pitfalls of microwave inactivation
J Cyclic Nucleotide Res.
1977 Oct.
Abstract
Techniques of in-vivo microwave irradiation to inactivate brain enzymes in rats were varied as to exposure configuration and output power. The rate at which metabolism was stopped was studied in various regions of the rat brain, using changes in levels of cyclic AMP and phosphodiesterase activity. Exposure times required to obtain stabilized levels of cyclic AMP varied in different brain regions, i.e., hypothalamus, cortex and cerebellum. Levels of cyclic AMP in selective regions of the brain decreased as more rapid inactivation was achieved. The authors identify important sources of variability of present microwave inactivation systems and the need for improved control of signficant microwave parameters.
