title: [Evolvement of systems of serotonin uptake in rat hypothalamus during its development].
abstract: Kinetics of 3H serotonin accumulation into slices from hypothalamus have been compared in adult, puppy and foetus rat. In 15 days-old, as in adult rat, there are two components of 5 HT accumulation corresponding to the low and high affinity transport systems. For this latter, Km and Vmax values are much higher in adult than in 15 days old rat (in adult, Km=1,3 X 10(-7) and Vmax=0,33 X 10(-10); in 15 days old rat, Km=0,5 X 10(-7) and Vmax=0,125 X 10(-10)). On the opposite, in the 7 days old rat and in the 21 days old foetus, it is only possible to arbitrarely define one uptake system corresponding to the following apparent values: in the 7 days old rat, Km= 5 X 10(-7) and Vmax=2 X 10(-10), in the foetus, Km=0,2 X 10(-7) and Vmax=0,15 X 10(-10). These results showed important developmental differences in affinity of 3H serotonin to hypothalamus. The low and high affinity uptake systems existing in adult are only individualized in the 15 days old little rat.
