[Increased brain Na, K-ATPase activity of rats under stress].
The activities of Na, K- and Mg-dependent ATPases were measured in crude synaptosomal fractions isolated from the rat brain gray matter. Prolonged (6 h) exposure to emotional painful stress stimulated Na, K-ATPase activity by 40% without affecting that of Mg-ATPase. Preliminary injection of the free radical scavenger ionol presented Na, K-ATPase activation, thus suggesting the involvement of lipid peroxidation initiated in brain tissues under stress in acceleration of NA-pump function. However, model studies with lipid peroxidation induced in vitro by an ascorbate-dependent system in a membranous suspension demonstrated an opposite effect, i. e. fast inhibition of Na, K-ATPase. Possible reasons for the different effects of lipid peroxidation in vivo under stress and on Na, K-ATPase activity in vitro are discussed. It is concluded that activation of Na K-ATPase is a mechanism which is responsible for acceleration of reflex conditioning and for the maintenance of the conditioned reflexes in stress-exposed animals.
