  • Title: Adrenaline and the electrogenic sodium pump in Rana catesbeiana sympathetic ganglion cells.
    Author: Akasu T, Koketsu K.
    Journal: Experientia; 1976 Jan 15; 32(1):57-9. PubMed ID: 1082419.
    Abstract:
    The effect of adrenaline on the Na+-pump in bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana) sympathetic ganglion cells was studied by use of electrophysiological methods. The rate of removal of excess Na+ injected into a ganglion cell was increased by adrenaline. The K+-activated hyperpolarization of cell membrane, which might be produced by an electrogenic Na+-pump, was also increased by adrenaline. These results suggested that adrenaline was able to accelerate the Na+-pump, possibly the electrogenic Na+-pump.
