Title: [Effect of dopamine and dopamine mimetics on Na, K-ATPase of corpus striatum synaptosomes]. Author: Komissarov IV, Zholob GI, Glebov RN. Journal: Biull Eksp Biol Med; 1985 Oct; 100(10):400-3. PubMed ID: 2996651. Abstract: Dopamine (DA) and DA-mimetics (apomorphine, midantan, piribedil) have a dual effect on Na, K-ATPase of the rat brain striate synaptosomes: activating at micromolar concentrations and inhibitory at higher concentrations (less than or equal to 30 microM). In the presence of Ca2+ (1 mM EGTA + 2.5 mM Ca2+) DA activating effect completely disappears and the inhibitory effect becomes even more pronounced. In the presence of cAMP (50 microM) which has no effect of its own on Na, K-ATPase, DA activation maximum is shifted towards lower concentrations, and the inhibitory effect remains unchanged. The above mentioned effects of DA persist in the presence of ouabain (1 mM), i.e. during measuring of Na, K-ATPase activity by an "ouabain" method, with DA activation maximum shifted towards higher concentrations.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
