[Glycogen degradation in rabbit brain under normal conditions and following cranio-cerebral injury]. 1977

A S Akopian, and I A Popova, and M Sh Promyslov, and E L Rozenfel'd

Activities of gamma-amylase (acidic alpha-glucosidase) and phosphorylase were studied in brain of normal rabbits and in animals subjected to craniocerebral trauma. The gamma-amylase activity was slightly increased within 10 min after the trauma and its was decreased within 24 hrs. The phosphorylase activity was decreased in the both periods of investigation. Administration of strychnine into normal animals increased the gamma-amylase activity and decreased the phosphorylase activity. At the same time, the normalization of the gamma-amylase activity was observed after stimulation of the central nervous system (by phenamine) of traumatized animals. Inhibition of the central nervous system of traumatized animals (by administration of urethane and barbital mixture) led to the subsequent decrease of the gamma-amylase activity (in several cases up to the zero value) without any alterations in the phosphorylase activity. Participation of gamma-amylase in glycogen metabolism of rabbit brain is discussed.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
D001930 Brain Injuries Acute and chronic (see also BRAIN INJURIES, CHRONIC) injuries to the brain, including the cerebral hemispheres, CEREBELLUM, and BRAIN STEM. Clinical manifestations depend on the nature of injury. Diffuse trauma to the brain is frequently associated with DIFFUSE AXONAL INJURY or COMA, POST-TRAUMATIC. Localized injuries may be associated with NEUROBEHAVIORAL MANIFESTATIONS; HEMIPARESIS, or other focal neurologic deficits.

D002682 Chinchilla A genus of the family Chinchillidae which consists of three species: C. brevicaudata, C. lanigera, and C. villidera. They are used extensively in biomedical research. Chinchillas
D006005 Phosphorylases A class of glucosyltransferases that catalyzes the degradation of storage polysaccharides, such as glucose polymers, by phosphorolysis in animals (GLYCOGEN PHOSPHORYLASE) and in plants (STARCH PHOSPHORYLASE). Glucan Phosphorylase,Phosphorylase,alpha-Glucan Phosphorylases
D000661 Amphetamine A powerful central nervous system stimulant and sympathomimetic. Amphetamine has multiple mechanisms of action including blocking uptake of adrenergics and dopamine, stimulation of release of monamines, and inhibiting monoamine oxidase. Amphetamine is also a drug of abuse and a psychotomimetic. The l- and the d,l-forms are included here. The l-form has less central nervous system activity but stronger cardiovascular effects. The d-form is DEXTROAMPHETAMINE.

D000681 Amylases A group of amylolytic enzymes that cleave starch, glycogen, and related alpha-1,4-glucans. (Stedman, 25th ed) EC 3.2.1.-. Diastase,Amylase
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.
