The effect of a new phosphorothionate, the ethyl ester of 2-butenoic acid 3-diethoxy phosphinothioyl (RPR-V) synthesized at the Indian Institute of Chemical Technology, Hyderabad was studied using peroral doses of 0.033, 0.066 and 0.099 mg kg(-1) in male and female rats daily over 90 days. This repeated administration of RPR-V caused significant inhibition of acetylcholinesterase, Na+-K+, Mg2+ and Ca2+-ATPases in the brain of male and female rats when measured after 45 and 90 days of treatment. The effects of the low dose were generally not statistically significant, whereas medium and high doses caused significant effects. Females were more susceptible with regard to brain AChE, but the reverse was seen with Mg2+-ATPase, suggesting sexual dimorphism. Enzyme recoveries were seen 28 days after the final dose. Since RPR-V not only inhibited AChE but also ATPases, it is possible that both synaptic transmission and nerve conduction were affected.

Effect of chronic oral exposure (10 and 20 mg kg(-1) body wt. for 7, 15 and 30 days) to hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) on open-field behaviour and activities of cerebral Na+,K+-ATPase, Mg2+-ATPase and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) of rat was evaluated. Motor and grooming activities were altered, whereas vertical exploratory activity was unaffected by HCH. Activities of Na+,K+-ATPase, Mg2+-ATPase and AChE were inhibited significantly by the pesticide. The results suggest that HCH induces impairment of the enzymes involved in synaptic activity, resulting in behavioural alterations.

Papaverine (1-[(3,4-Dimethoxyphenyl) methyl]-6,7-dimethoxyisoquinoline) and nantenine (O-methyldomesticine) are chemically related isoquinoline alkaloids displaying similar dose-dependent sedative or convulsant effects, but seem to act differentially on synaptosomal membrane enzymes. Na+, K+-, Mg2+- and Ca2+-ATPase activities were inhibited by nantenine but not by papaverine, whereas acetylcholinesterase activity remained unchanged by nantenine but slightly enhanced by papaverine. Nantenine inhibited roughly both 20-50% Ca2+- and Mg2+-ATPase activities but 40-90% Na+, K+-ATPase activity. Kinetic analysis indicated that nantenine interacts with the substrate ATP for Ca2+-ATPase activity but that it competes with K+ for Na+, K+-ATPase activity. Given the roles of Na+, K+-ATPase and Ca2+-ATPase in cation transport and [Ca2+]i regulation, respectively, the inhibitory effect of nantenine upon these enzymes may explain its convulsant effect though not its sedative activity. The sedative action of both nantenine and papaverine is hardly attributable to an effect on the synaptosomal membrane enzymes assayed.

The effect of different L-phenylalanine (Phe) concentrations (0.12-12.1 mM) on acetylcholinesterase (AChE), (Na+,K+)-ATPase and Mg2+-ATPase activities was investigated in homogenates of adult rat whole brain and frontal cortex at 37 degrees C. AChE, (Na+,K+)-ATPase and Mg2+-ATPase activities were determined after preincubation with Phe. AChE activity in both tissues showed a decrease up to 18% (p<0.01) with Phe. Whole brain Na+,K+-ATPase was stimulated by 30-35% (p<0.01) with high Phe concentrations, while frontal cortex Na+,K+-ATPase was stimulated by 50-55% (p<0.001). Mg2+-ATPase activity was increased only in frontal cortex with high Phe concentrations. It is suggested that: a) The inhibitory effect of Phe on brain AChE is not influenced by developmental factors, while the stimulation of Phe on brain Na+,K+-ATPase is indeed affected; b) The stimulatory effect of Phe on rat whole brain Na+,K+-ATPase is decreased with age; c) Na+,K+-ATPase is selectively more stimulated by high Phe concentrations in frontal cortex than in whole brain homogenate; d) High (toxic) Phe concentrations can affect Mg2+-ATPase activity in frontal cortex, but not in whole brain, thus modulating the amount of intracellular Mg2+.

Despite the recently emerging notion of thyroid-hormone involvement in neurotransmission in the adult mammalian brain, adequate evidence for a cellular basis of the process is still lacking. The present study indicates the involvement of thyroid hormones in cholinergic system of the adult rat cerebral cortex. Administration of L-triiodothyronine (T3, 0.025 to 4 microg/g) in single doses increased the synaptosomal acetylcholinesterase (AchE) and Mg2+-ATPase activity maximally at 24 hours in a dose-dependent way. Propylthiouracil (PTU)-treated hypothyroid rats showed a significant increase in AchE and Mg2+-ATPase activity compared to euthyroid rats. T3-treatment on hypothyroid rats decreased AchE activity in synaptosomes compared to the hypothyroid synaptosomal values. Mg2+-ATPase activity found in (PTU + T3)-treated group and T3-treated group remained high. These results predict that T3 stimulates acetylcholine (Ach) metabolism by increasing AchE activity as well as uptake of the released Ach through an increase in synaptosomal Mg2+-ATPase activity. This indicates a positive impact of T3 on the cholinergic system in the adult mammalian brain.

Anilofos and isoproturon are important herbicides of organophosphorus and substituted phenylurea groups, respectively. Isoproturon is an inducer of hepatic drug-metabolizing enzymes. Animals and humans have the potential to be exposed to the mixture of these intentionally introduced environmental xenobiotics, but toxicological interactions between these herbicides are not known. Effects of isoproturon pretreatment (675 mg/kg/day for 3 consecutive days) on the toxic actions of anilofos administered orally as a single dose (850 mg/kg) were evaluated by determining some biochemical attributes in blood (erythrocyte/plasma), brain and liver of rats. Anilofos or isoproturon alone or in combination failed to produce any noticeable signs of cholinergic hyperactivity and behavioural alterations. Isoproturon did not potentiate the anticholinesterase action of anilofos in blood and liver. Inhibition of brain acetylcholinesterase was significantly protected. No significant alteration in anilofos-mediated production of lipid peroxidation was observed in erythrocyte and brain of isoproturon-pretreated rats, but it was significantly increased in liver. Anilofos did not affect GSH and GST. The isoproturon-mediated increase in GSH levels of brain (threefold) and liver (3.6-fold) was also not affected following combined administration. GST activity was increased in liver of rats given isoproturon alone (fourfold) or in combination with anilofos (2.8-fold). Activities of total ATPase, Mg2+-ATPase and Na+-K+-ATPase were not affected in rats given either anilofos alone or herbicides in sequence. With these treatments, there were no alterations in the protein content of plasma, brain and liver. Overall findings of the study indicate that isoproturon pretreatment does not alter the toxicity of anilofos, the GSH-GST metabolic pathway may not have a significant implication in the detoxification of anilofos and the production of a reactive oxygen species may be a factor in mediating anilofos toxicity.

The effect of different L-phenylalanine (Phe) concentrations (0.12-12.1 mM) on acetylcholinesterase (AChE), (Na+,K+)-ATPase and Mg2+-ATPase activities was evaluated in homogenates of suckling rat frontal cortex, hippocampus and hypothalamus. Phe, at high concentrations, reduced AChE activity in frontal cortex and hippocampus by 18%-20%. On the contrary, the enzyme activity was unaltered in the hypothalamus. Na+,K+-ATPase was stimulated by high levels of the amino acid, both in the frontal cortex and the hypothalamus by 60%, whereas it was inhibited in the hippocampus by 40%. Mg2+-ATPase was not influenced by Phe. It is suggested that: a) In the frontal cortex, the improper acetylcholine (ACh) release, due to AChE inhibition by Phe, combined with the stimulation of Na+,K+-ATPase, possibly explain tremor and the hyperkinetic behaviour in patients with classical phenylketonuria (PKU). b) In the hippocampus, inhibition of AChE by Phe could lead to problems in memory, while Na+,K+-ATPase inhibition by Phe may induce metabolic disorders and electrical instability of the synaptosomal membrane. c) In the hypothalamus, the behavioral problems in PKU "off diet" may be related to noradrenaline (NA) levels, which are probably correlated with the modulated Na+,K+-ATPase by Phe.

Three experimental diets with varied n-6-to-n-3 fatty acid ratios (120, 40 and 8) were prepared by a suitable blending of safflower oil containing 72.5% linoleic (18:2 n-6) acid and non-detectable levels of alpha-linolenic (18:3 n-3) acid, and soybean oil having 56.1% linoleic (18:2 n-6) acid and 7.9% alpha-linolenic (18:3 n-3) acid. These diets were fed to weanling female Wistar/NIN (inbred) rats for 16 wk to assess the impact of altered dietary n-6-to-n-3 fatty acid ratio on erythrocyte membrane (EMS) cholesterol, phospholipids, fatty acid composition and activities of membrane-bound enzymes such as Na+,K+-ATPase, Ca2+, Mg2+-ATPase and acetylcholinesterase. Activities of total and ouabain-sensitive-ATPases were significantly higher in the erythrocyte membranes of rats fed diets with a n-6-to-n-3 fatty acid ratio of 40 compared to other groups, whereas the erythrocyte membrane-bound acetylcholinesterase was significantly different among the three groups. The highest and lowest activities for this enzyme were observed in the dietary groups with n-6-to-n-3 fatty acid ratios of 8 and 40 respectively. However, the EMS of rats fed diets with a n-6-to-n-3 fatty acid ratio of 40 alone had significantly higher Ca2+,Mg2+-ATPase compared to those of other two groups. Significant increases were observed in absolute amounts of cholesterol, phospholipids and molar ratio of cholesterol to phospholipids in the EMS of rats fed a diet with a very high 18:2 n-6-to-18:3 n-3 fatty acid ratio (120) as compared to those from the dietary group with 18:2 n-6-to-18:3 n-3 fatty acid ratio (40), which had the lowest levels of cholesterol, phospholipids and cholesterol-to-phospholipid molar ratio. On the other hand, the EMS from rats fed a diet with a very low n-6-to-n-3 fatty acid ratio (8) had significantly lower cholesterol and higher proportions of stearic (18:0), oleic (18:1 n-9), eicosapentaenoic (20:5 n-3), and docosahexaenoic acids, and a higher ratio of docosahexaenoic (22:6 n-3) acid-to-a-linoleic (18:3 n-3) acid compared to the EMS from a very high n-6-to-n-3 fatty acid ratio of 120. Although these changes in EM fatty acid profiles were expected of the respective dietary regimens, the observed changes in the activities of membrane-bound enzymes could have resulted from their interaction with membrane cholesterol, phospholipids and fatty acyl chains.

It is a common knowledge that metabolic reactions increase in hyperthyroidism and decrease in hypothyroidism. The aim of this work was to investigate how the metabolic reactions could affect the total antioxidant status (TAS), protein concentration (PC) and the activities of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), (Na+,K+)-ATPase and Mg2+ -ATPase in the brain of hyper- and hypothyroid adult male rats. Hyperthyroidism was induced in rats by subcutaneous administration of thyroxine (25 microg/l00 g body weight) once daily for 14 days, while hypothyroidism was induced by oral administration of propylthiouracil (0.05%) for 21 days. TAS, PC, and enzyme activities were evaluated spectrophotometrically in the homogenated brain of each animal. TAS, PC, and Mg2+ -ATPase activity were found unaffected in hyperthyroidism, while AChE and Na+,K+ -ATPase activities were reduced by 25% (p < 0.01). In contrast, TAS, (Na+,K+)-ATPase and Mg2+-ATPase activities were found to be increased (approx. 23-30%, p < 0.001) in the hypothyroid brain, while AChE activity and PC were shown to be inhibited (approx. 23-30%, p < 0.001). These changes on brain enzyme activities may reflect the different metabolic effects of hyper- and hypothyroidism. Such changes of the enzyme activities may differentially modulate the brain intracellular Mg2+, neural excitability, as well as the uptake and release of biogenic amines.

The thyroid hormones (THs) are crucial determinants of normal development and metabolism, especially in the central nervous system. The metabolic rate is known to increase in hyperthyroidism and decrease in hypothyroidism. The aim of this work was to investigate how changes in metabolism induced by THs could affect the activities of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), (Na+,K+)- and Mg2+-adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase) in the frontal cortex and the hippocampus of adult rats. Hyperthyroidism was induced by subcutaneous administration of thyroxine (25 microg/100 g body weight) once daily for 14 days, and hypothyroidism was induced by oral administration of propylthiouracil (0.05%) for 21 days. All enzyme activities were evaluated spectrophotometrically in the homogenated brain regions of 10 three-animal pools. A region-specific behavior was observed concerning the examined enzyme activities in hyper- and hypothyroidism. In hyperthyroidism, AChE activity was significantly increased only in the hippocampus (+22%), whereas Na+,K+-ATPase activity was significantly decreased in the hyperthyroid rat hippocampus (-47%) and remained unchanged in the frontal cortex. In hypothyroidism, AChE activity was significantly decreased in the frontal cortex (-23%) and increased in the hippocampus (+21%). Na+,K+-ATPase activity was significantly decreased in both the frontal cortex (-35%) and the hippocampus (-43%) of hypothyroid rats. Mg2+-ATPase remained unchanged in the regions of both hyper- and hypothyroid rat brains. Our data revealed that THs affect the examined adult rat brain parameters in a region- and state-specific way. The TH-reduced Na+,K+-ATPase activity may increase the synaptic acetylcholine release and, thus, modulate AChE activity. Moreover, the above TH-induced changes may affect the monoamine neurotransmitter systems in the examined brain regions.
