| 2443783 | Fishman BE, Gianutsos G: Opposite effects of different hexachlorocyclohexane (lindane) isomers on cerebellar cyclic GMP: relation of cyclic GMP accumulation to seizure activity. Life Sci. 1987 Oct 5;41(14):1703-9. A number of different depressant and convulsant agents have been shown to alter accumulation of cerebellar cyclic GMP. Since the different hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) isomers elicit different pharmacological responses in mammals, we examined their effects on the accumulation of cerebellar cyclic GMP. Mice received one of the HCH isomers and were sacrificed for determination of cyclic GMP concentrations one hour later. Gamma-HCH increased cyclic GMP while alpha and delta-HCH decreased it. In addition, alpha and delta-HCH prevented the increase in cyclic GMP due to the gamma isomer. Picrotoxin increased cyclic GMP in a manner similar to that of gamma-HCH while strychnine produced only a small increase. All three HCH isomers inhibited the binding of 3H-TBOB (a ligand for the -A-receptor linked chloride channel) in mouse cerebellum. It is concluded that the different HCH isomers can have different effects on cerebellar cyclic GMP accumulation and that these effects may be mediated through actions at the -A receptor linked chloride channel. |
