  • Title: [Effect of light deprivation on enzymic activity of synaptosomes and mitochondria of rabbit cortex visual region].
    Author: Dovedova EL.
    Journal: Ukr Biokhim Zh; 1977; 49(5):17-22. PubMed ID: 199970.
    Abstract:
    The specific activity of markers-enzymes in the subcellular fractions of the rabbit visual analyzer cortical end, the synaptosomes and mitochondria of nerve cells, changed under the effect of early long deprivation. For cytochromoxidase and Na+, K+-ATPase it lowers considerably in all subfractions, for monoaminoxidase and Mg2+-ATPase it rises mainly in synaptosomes; the activity of acetyl cholinesterase lowers per 1 g of tissue. In the light two weeks later a tendency is observed to normalization of the studied indexes. The specific activity of cytochrome oxidase (except for free mitochondria) and Na+, K+-ATPase reaches the control, that of monoaminoxidase also partially normalizes, but not competely; Mg2+ATPase in all the subfractions is more inhibited than in the control. This evidences for the effect of light deprivation on the activity of the enzymes associated with different cycles of metabolic processes, first of all, of oxidation and ion transport. These changes are reversible when visual impulsation is recovered. Disturbances in chemism at the subcellular level are specific for different enzymic systems and are not the same in certain subfractions of great hemispheres.
