Effect of LY487379 (3 μM) on the saturation binding of ([35S]GTPγS) or [3H]DCG-IV to native group II mGlu receptors in rat cortical membranes

The Kd values are expressed as the geometric mean (lower-upper S.E.) and the Bmax as mean ± S.E.M. from data obtained from three independent experiments.

LY487379 KdBmax
μM nM fmol/mg of protein
[35S]GTPγS 0(control) 0.4(0.2−0.9) 2360 ± 330
3 0.6(0.34−0.9) 4,110 ± 150*
[3H]DCG-IV 0(control) 214 (188−242) 1326 ± 90
3 115 (87−150)* 1304 ± 95
  • * Significantly different from control (p < 0.05, Student t test).
