title: [Effect of acidosis on membrane potential and calcium transport in rat brain synaptosomes].
abstract: The influence of acidosis on the transmembrane potential, sodium pump and membranous systems of calcium transport was studied on isolated presynaptic nerve terminals (synaptosomes) from rat brain. It is established that acidic shift causes a decrease of membrane potential, a large inhibition of the sodium pump (by three times at pH 6.0). All the systems controlling both inward- and outward-directed calcium fluxes are partially blocked by low pH. At pH 6.0 the basal influx and calcium pump are reduced two-fold while the voltage-sensitive calcium channels and Na+/Ca2+ exchanger are inhibited by three and four to five times, respectively. We have no found any evidence of acidosis-induced net flux of calcium directed inwards.
