The synthesis of whole brain acetylcholine is reduced in 2 strains (C57BL and BALB/c) of senescent mice. The incorporation of [U-14C]glucose into acetylcholine decreased in both strains by 40 .+-. 4 percent in 10-mo.-old mice and by 58 .+-. 9 percent in 30-mo. old mice compared with mice 3 mo. old. The incorporation of [2H4]choline into acetylcholine declined 60 and 73 percent in 10 and 30-mo.-old mice, respectively. Deficits in the cholinergic system may contribute to brain dysfunctions that complicate senescence.
