Some characteristics of sulphate uptake into synaptosomes.
نویسنده
چکیده
Incorporation of Na235SO4 by ovine brain Ficoll-prepared synaptosomes were studied as a function of time, temperature and substrate concentration. The rate of uptake obeyed Michaelis-Menten kinetics and apparent Km value of 4.4 mM Na2SO4 was determined. In the presence of p-hydroxymercuribenzoate a reduction in sulphate uptake was noted which suggests that thiol groups may possibly be implicated in the uptake mechanism.

Effect of Paraoxon on GABA Uptake by Rat Cerebral Cortex Synaptosomes
Background: It has been suggested that organophosphates may inhibit gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) metabolism in synaptosomal preparations. In the present investigation, we have assessed the interaction between paraoxon and the GABA system at synaptic level. Methods: Synaptosomes were prepared from male Wistar rats (200-250 g). Cerebral cortex was dissected and homogenized, then centrifuged at ...
متن کاملEffect of undernutrition on brain-specific proteins during development.
glycoprotein bands were detected in fraction A, whereas in fraction D only four tritiated proteins were observed. It should be noted that there was no overlap in any of the membrane glycoproteins identified on sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide gels. To determine if glycoprotein synthesis is influenced by recognized inhibitors of eukaryotic and prokaryotic proteinsynthesizing systems, synap...
متن کاملThe inhibitory effect of Paraoxon on cerebellar synaptosome GABA uptake in rats
Introduction: Compounds which are used to treat organophosphate (OP) poisoning are not able to fully alleviate long lasting effects. They are mainly used to antagonize cholinergic effects of Ops. However, non-cholinergic effects, such as interference with different neurotransmitter systems, especially GABA release and uptake, are recently attracting more attentions. We have tried to investi...
متن کاملEffect of paraoxon on the synaptosomal GABA uptake in rat hippocampus and cerebral cortex
Introduction: Paraoxon (the neurotoxic metabolite of organophosphorus (OP) insecticide, parathion) exerts acute toxicity by inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), leading to the accumulation of acetylcholine in cholinergic synapses and hence overstimulation of the cholinergic system. Since, reports on changes in the level of γ- amino butyric acid (GABA) during OP-induced convulsion have bee...
متن کاملHigh and low temperatures affect rat hippocampal synaptosome’s viability and functions
Introduction: Synaptosomes are sealed particles that contain mitochondria, cytoskeleton and vesicles which are necessary to synaptic events like neurotransmitter release and uptake in the nervous system. However, the effect of high and low temperatures on synaptosome membrane integrity and function during a time course after its extraction is less known. The purpose of this study was to assess ...
