Effect of noradrenaline and vanadium on Na+K+-activated ATPase in rat cerebral cortex synaptosomal preparation. 1980

V Adám-Vizi, and M Ordögh, and I Horváth, and J Somogyi, and E S Vizi

The effect of l-noradrenaline and vanadate on the activity of Na+K+-activated ATPase was studied on synaptosomal brain cortex preparation. Using neutron activation analysis it was found that the rat cerebral cortex synaptosomal preparation contains 0.16 microM vanadium. The concentration of vanadium needed to reduce enzyme activity by 50% proved to be 2 x 10(-6) M. Evidence has been provided that the increase by noradrenaline of enzyme activity in synaptosomal preparation depends on the presence of an inhibitory contaminant in commercial ATP preparations. In homogenate, however, noradrenaline was able to enhance enzyme activity even when vanadium-free ATP was used. This fact indicates that noradrenaline removes the inhibitory effect of cytoplasmic factor thereby stimulating enzyme activity.

D009638 Norepinephrine Precursor of epinephrine that is secreted by the ADRENAL MEDULLA and is a widespread central and autonomic neurotransmitter. Norepinephrine is the principal transmitter of most postganglionic sympathetic fibers, and of the diffuse projection system in the brain that arises from the LOCUS CERULEUS. It is also found in plants and is used pharmacologically as a sympathomimetic.

D000254 Sodium-Potassium-Exchanging ATPase An enzyme that catalyzes the active transport system of sodium and potassium ions across the cell wall. Sodium and potassium ions are closely coupled with membrane ATPase which undergoes phosphorylation and dephosphorylation, thereby providing energy for transport of these ions against concentration gradients.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013574 Synaptosomes Pinched-off nerve endings and their contents of vesicles and cytoplasm together with the attached subsynaptic area of the membrane of the post-synaptic cell. They are largely artificial structures produced by fractionation after selective centrifugation of nervous tissue homogenates. Synaptosome
D014639 Vanadium A metallic element with the atomic symbol V, atomic number 23, and atomic weight 50.94. It is used in the manufacture of vanadium steel. Prolonged exposure can lead to chronic intoxication caused by absorption usually via the lungs. Vanadium-51,Vanadium 51
