摘要
Beta-adrenergic receptors in the brain are involved in modulating cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebral energy metabolism (CEM). Because of the difficult availability of brain tissue samples, investigation of the relevant beta-receptor of brain is limited. In the present study, the density of beta-receptors in brain tissues and in circulating lymphocytes was measured by the method of radio-ligand receptor binding (RLBA), in brain injury or brain tumor and a correlation analysis was performed. Our results show that there is linear correlation between the beta-receptors in brain tissue and in peripheral blood lymphocytes (r= 0. 811 , P<0. 01) in cases of increased permeability of bloodbrain barrier during brain injury or brain tumor.
