[Anaesthesia and intracellular distribution of cerebral hexokinase (author's transl)].
The purpose of the present investigation was to demonstrate how the intracellular distribution of hexokinase was influenced by anaesthetics. The experiments were carried out using mice in vivo and the isolated perfused rat brain. Thiopentone (100 mg/kg i.p.) produced an increase of soluble hexokinase activity in brains of mice which were removed from the skull in 45 s to 120 s. A solubilization of hexokinase activity was demonstrable in the surgical stage of anaesthesia, when the animals awoke redistribution to control values was measurable. A dose dependent influence of thiopentone on hexokinase distribution was demonstrated in the isolated perfused rat brain. When the thiopentone concentration in the perfusion medium was increased (0.05-0.8 mM) the soluble hexokinase activity was elevated while the EEG activity was reduced up to isoelectricity.
