The findings indicate that both the NMDA subtype of iGluR and group I of mGluR are susceptible to the QUIN-induced neurodegeneration in the rat hippocampus. The inhibition of NO synthesis does not reveal any protective action in the QUIN-evoked, NMDA-receptor mediated decrease of [(H]Glu membrane binding. Thus, the additional mechanisms of QUIN action, different from direct NMDA receptor activa-tion/NO production (e.g. lipid peroxidation induced by QUIN-Fe-complexex) cannot be excluded.
