title: [Pharmacological approaches to study of choline- and GABA-receptor sta tes in neuronal membranes after low doses irradiation].
abstract: As a result of the study of both the acetylcholine (10(-10) M; 10(-6) M) and gamma-aminobutyric acid (10(-9) M; 10(-5) M) effects on active K+ transport in rat brain cortex slices using any selective antagonists of cholinoreceptors (ChR) and GABA-receptors (GABA-R) it had been shown that after whole-body 25 cGy irradiation (1.75 mGy/min) metabotropic muscarinic ChR and GABAB-R were involved into processes of neurotransmitter modulation, whereas under the normal conditions they were mediated via ionotropic nicotinic ChR and GABAA-R. Observed changes were supposed to be an adaptive reaction. Perhaps, postirradiation structure-functional disorders in receptors were pointed as one of the reasons leading to essential changes in the interneuronal metabolic communication processes in CNS.
