title: The effects of lubrol WX on brain membrane Ca2+/Mg2+ ATPase and ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake activity following acute and chronic ethanol.
abstract: Acute administration of ethanol (2.5 gm/kg, i.p.) to rats inhibits the cytosolic buffering of Ca2+ in nerve terminals. Ca2+ ATPase and ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake are both inhibited 30 min after a single dose of ethanol. Chronic ethanol administration (6%, 14 days) did not inhibit Ca2+ ATPase but significantly stimulated ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake. Lubrol WX treatment of acute ethanolic membranes reverses the inhibition of Ca2+ ATPase seen following ethanol. Lubrol WX treatment of chronic ethanolic membranes prevents the increase in ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake seen in ethanolic membranes. Both acute and chronic ethanol-induced changes in Ca2+ transport within nerve terminals may involve lipid-dependent parameters of the membrane which may underlie neuronal adaptation.
