The effect of neonatal anoxia on brain cholecystokinin-8-like immunoreactivity and monoamine levels of mature rats.
The effect of neonatal anoxia upon cholecystokinin-8-like immunoreactivity (CCK-8-I) concentrations was investigated in different brain areas of mature rats. Anoxia within 24 h after birth resulted in significantly lower CCK-8-I levels in the cortex, nucleus accumbens, amygdala and hypothalamus of 10-week-old rats. In contrast, no change was observed in the monoamine levels of these brain areas. The data suggest that neonatal anoxia selectively affects CCK-containing neurons.
