چکیده
The effect of Benfluron on the heart sarcolemmal (Na+, K+)-ATPase and Mg(2+)-ATPase activities was studied in crude membrane fraction as well as in purified sarcolemmal membranes isolated from rat heart. Benfluron in concentration range 10(-7) -5 x 10(-5) mol.l-1 did not exert any effect on ATPase activities studied. 10(-4) mol.l-1 Benfluron was stimulatory towards (Na+, K+)-ATPase, while Mg(2+)-ATPase activity was depressed. Kinetic analysis of interaction of Benfluron with (Na+, K+)-ATPase revealed an increase in the Vmax and decrease in the K(m) values for ATP. The possible mechanism of interaction of the drug with (Na+, K+)-ATPase is discussed.

Background: Polarized cells are key to the process of differentiation. Xenopus oocyte is a polarized cell that has complete blue-print to differentiate 3 germ layers following fertilization, as key determinant molecules (Proteins and RNAs) are asymmetrically localized. The objective of this work was to localize Na+, K+-ATPase activity along animal-vegetal axis of polarized Xenopus oocyte and fo...

Beta-adrenoceptor blocking agents may have, in addition to their primary action, also ancillary effects on the cell membrane. In the present paper the non-specific interaction of exaprolol with the ATPase systems in isolated rat heart sarcolemmal membranes was investigated. When preincubated with sarcolemmal membranes in vitro, exaprolol in concentrations below 10(-4) mol.l-1 had no significant...

Isothiocyanates are potent modifiers of thiol groups, and they have been successfully applied in studying the active site structure of renal (Na+ + K+)-ATPase. However, very little has been known on interactions of isothiocyanates with myocardial sarcolemmal ATPases. In the present study the mode of interaction and inhibitory effect of p-bromophenyl isothiocyanate (BPITC) on isolated rat heart ...

The activities of some membrane-bound enzymes such as adenylate cyclase, Na+ + K+-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase (Na+ + K+-ATPase), Ca2+-stimulated ATPase and Mg2+-stimulated ATPase were examined in heart sarcolemmal fractions from control and cardiomyopathic hamsters at different stages of heart failure. 2. The basal adenylate cyclase activity in sarcolemma from cardiomyopathic animals...
متن کاملThe Effect of Verapamil Administred before the Reperfusion Insult in Isolated Preconditioned Rat Heart on the Microsomal ATPase and Mitochondrial Enzyme Activities
Background: Calcium overload and free radical mediated damage in the mitochondria is the most important pathological changes associated with myocardial ischemic-reperfusion injury. The verapamil post-treatment has been previously reported to prevent reperfusion-induced myocardial injury but functional recovery may be delayed due to the drug's inherent direct myocardial depression effect. In the...
