Abstract

By means of semiquantitative immunocytochemistry and quantitative receptor autoradiography a correlation analysis has been performed on the pre- and post-synaptic features of enkephalin and beta-endorphin immunoreactive neuron systems of the 3- and 24-month-old male rat. A parallel disappearance of enkephalin- and beta-endorphin-like immunoreactivity and of the density of mu and delta opiate receptors is shown during ageing. Furthermore, the lack of an overall correlation between the amount of pre- and post-synaptic components of the enkephalin and beta-endorphin synapses give evidence for the existence of a volume type of transmission in such systems in the telencephalic, diencephalic and mesencephalic areas analysed.
