The kinetics of vascular smooth musclw activity was studied by means of afterloaded isotonic contractions of the tetanized rat portal vein at varied pH (8.0-5.9), pCa (3.4-2.1), and during noradrenaline incubation (0.4 mug/ml). Under control conditions (pH 7.3, pCa 2.6) the following parameters of the force velocity relation were calculated: a of Hill's equation (relating to the isometric peak tension) = 0.36; b (relating to the actual muscle length) = 0.19 ML/s; VM Trelating to the actual muscle length) = 0.56 ML/s. Within the range of pCa between 2.0 and 3.2 the amount of force generation (= delta P) depended on the extracellular calcium level whereas the extrapolated velocity of shortening of the unloaded preparation (= VM) did not. Also pH changes between 8.0 and 6.8 as well as noradrenaline incubation at a pH of 5.9 affected delta P quite considerably, but VM only scarcely. At a pH of 6.3, however, VM was distinctly diminished, and a reduced calcium sensitivity of the ATPase was inferred from the shift of ED50 of extracellular calcium from 0.66 mM Ca at a pH of 7.3 to 1.56 mM Ca at a pH of 6.3 (P less than 0.0005). It is concluded from these results that the experimental conditions-pCa between 2.0 and 3.2, pH between 8.0 and 6.8, and noradrenaline added at a pH of 5.9-obviously change the intracellular calcium concentration which influences the number of activated interaction sites rather than the velocity of crossbridge movement.

Amphetamine overcomes the amnesia caused by cycloheximide (CXM) provided it is administered closely following the learning trial. In day-old chickens with one trial passive avoidance learning, there is a short-term, labile memory existing for 90 min following training under the influence of CXM. Amphetamine has been shown to keep the memory at precisely the level exhibited by the labile, cycloheximide-resistant memory trace at the time of injection. Norepinephrine, methoxamine (an alpha adrenergic stimulant) and isoprenaline (a beta adrenergic stimulant) each mimic the amphetamine effect in CXM-pretreated chickens. That the action of amphetamine could be due to its release of norepinephrine is supported by the finding that it could be blocked by both alpha adrenergic (piperoxane) and beta adrenergic antagonists (propranolol). It has been suggested that this labile memory trace depends on the functioning of a sodium pump. Norepinephrine may be modulating memory formation by an action on the sodium pump since in preliminary biochemical assays norepinephrine stimulated the sodium pump (Na+/K+ ATPase) activity in chicken forebrain total homogenate.

Chromaffin granules isolated from bovine adrenal gland were incubated with (3)H-labelled nucleotides and [(14)C]noradrenaline to study the uptake of these substances. [(3)H]ATP, [(3)H]ADP and [(3)H]AMP are taken up by these organelles by the same temperature-dependent mechanism. The apparent K(m) for ATP and ADP is 1.4mm, and for AMP it is 2.9mm. The uptake of ATP has a flat pH optimum, whereas the catecholamine uptake increases with more alkaline pH. Atractyloside and carboxyatractyloside are competitive and specific inhibitors of nucleotide uptake, whereas reserpine inhibits only that for catecholamines. Mg(2+) ions activate uptake of both catecholamine and nucleotides, whereas EDTA and N-ethylmaleimide inhibit these processes. Nucleotide and catecholamine uptakes are inhibited by uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation and by two ATP analogues. NH(4) (+) ions and nigericin in the presence of KCl inhibit only catecholamine uptake. It is concluded that nucleotide uptake, as proposed previously for catecholamine uptake, depends on an electrochemical proton gradient produced by a proton-translocating adenosine triphosphatase localized in the membrane of chromaffin granules. Furthermore, as suggested by the effect of NH(4) (+) and nigericin, catecholamine uptake apparently depends on the chemical part of this gradient, whereas the results for nucleotide uptake are consistent with its dependence on the electrical component.

A series of benzhydryl piperazines was found to inhibit synaptic vesicular Mg++-ATPase. These compounds were also found to increase basal and evoked release of noradrenaline from synaptosomes. A comparison was made between the concentrations effective in inhibiting the enzyme and promoting noradrenaline release. In general, as the degree of Mg++-ATPase inhibition increased, noradrenaline release was increased. The relevance of these findings to a possible role of Mg++-ATPase in noradrenaline release is discussed.

Imposing a transmembrane potential positive with respect to the medium on chromaffin granule ghosts increased the initial rate of the delta pH-induced uptake of noradrenaline, whereas imposing a negative potential decreased this rate. The increase of the uptake rate was proportional to the potential. The ATP-induced uptake of noradrenaline was also sensitive to the potential since imposing a transient negative potential onto the positive potential generated by the membrane ATPase induced a latency in this transport.

The effects of acute (10 mg/kg) and chronic 10 mg/kg for 30 days) administration of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (delta9-THC) have been studied histochemically in the rat adrenal medulla, which include total catecholamines, noradrenaline, histometric measurements of adrenal medullary areas, calcium content of the medullary cells along with adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase), acetyl cholinesterase (AChE) and butyryl cholinesterase (BChE) activities. Acute delta9-THC treatment reduced the total catecholamine content (including noradrenaline) of the gland, was accompanied by increased ATP-ase, AChE, BChE activities and increased calcium distribution in the gland. Chronic delta9-THC treatment caused significant hypertrophy of the chromaffin tissue, with decreased total catecholamine content, although noradrenaline containing areas exhibited no notable change. The calcium content and ATPase activity were increased along with a concomitant increase in AChE and BChE activities. Although the changes in adrenal medullary enzyme activities following both acute and chronic delta9-THC treatment are qualitatively similar, marked quantitative increase is noted in the chronically treated groups. The results indicate an increased total catecholamine releasing activity of the adrenal medulla following acute delta9-THC treatment, while chronic delta9-THC administration produces a preferential release of adrenaline.

The possibility that corticosterone-induced hypercontractility in the rat anococcygeus muscle might be due to an intramuscular redistribution of Na+ was investigated. 2 The contractility of the isolated muscle to noradrenaline (NA) was directly dependent on the Na+ concentration of the Krebs solution. 3 There was a linear relationship between the maximum contractile response of the muscle to NA and the Na+ concentration of the Krebs solution. 4 Muscle contractility was also increased by the presence of ouabain (10(-4)M) in the bathing medium. 5 Muscles from rats treated with corticosterone exhibited increases in both total and ouabain-sensitive ATPase activity. 6 The relationship between corticosterone, Na+ distribution, and muscle contractility is discussed.

The effects of iontophoretically applied Na+-, K+-dependent adenosinetriphosphatase (Na+,K+-ATPase) (EC 3.6.1.3) inhibitors (ouabain, digitoxin, digitoxigenin, strophanthin K, strophanthidin, thevetin A and B, ethacrynate, and harmaline) on the depression of rat cerebral cortical neurones by noradrenaline, 5-hydroxytryptamine, and histamine have been studied. The inhibitors antagonized depressions of spontaneously active neurones evoked by these amines, but not those evoked by gamma-aminobutyric acid, adenosine, adenosine 5'-monophosphate, or calcium. The antagonistic potencies of the various inhibitors appeared to be proportional to their known potencies as inhibitors of Na+, K+-ATPase. The data therefore support the hypothesis that amines depress central neurones by activating an electrogenic sodium pump.

Definite relationships were found between the noradrenaline concentration and Mg++-ATPase activity in the rat brain during the action of nicotine. It is suggested that Mg++-ATPase regulates the storage of noradrenalin in the tissue depots.

The amines noradrenaline, dopamine, 5-hydroxytryptamine, and histamine (0.01-0.5 mM) enhanced the activity of Na-K-ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3) in rat cerebral cortical synaptosomal fractions. The activities of Mg-ATPase and Ca-Mg-ATPase were not significantly affected. No stimulation of Na-K-ATPase occurred in the presence of chelating agents (0.5 mM EGTA or EDTA) unless 0.5 mM calcium had also been added to the incubation medium. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that amines depress cerebral cortical neurones by activation of an electrogenic sodium pump. Calcium ions appear to be involved in this process.
