The effects of several ligands on the potassium-vanadate interaction in the inhibition of the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase and the Na+, K+ pump 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Inhibition by vanadate of the K+-dependent p-nitrophenylphosphatase activity catalyzed by the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase partially purified from pig kidney showed competitive behavior with the substrate, K+ and Mg2+ acted as cofactors in promoting that inhibition. Ligands which inhibited the K+-dependent p-nitrophenyl phosphate hydrolysis (Na+, nucleotide polyphosphates, inorganic phosphate) protected against inhibition by vanadate. The magnitude of that protection was proportional to the inhibition produced in the absence of vanadate. In the presence of only p-nitrophenyl phosphate and Mg2+, or when the protective ligands were tested alone, the activation of p-nitrophenyl phosphate hydrolysis by K+ followed a sigmoid curve in the presence as well in the absence of vanadate. However, the combination of 100 mM NaCl and 3 mM ATP resulted in a biphasic effect of K+ on the p-nitrophenyl phosphate hydrolysis in the presence of vanadate. After an initial rise at low K+ concentration, the p-nitrophenylphosphatase activity declined at high K+ concentrations; this decline became more pronounced as the vanadate concentration was increased. This biphasic response was not seen when a nonphosphorylating ATP analog was combined with Na+ (which favors the nucleotide binding) or with inorganic phosphate (a requirement for K+ - K+ exchange). Experiments with inside-out resealed vesicles from human red cells showed that in the absence of Na+ plus ATP, K+ promoted vanadate inhibition of p-nitrophenylphosphatase activity in a nonbiphasic manner, acting at cytoplasmic sites. On the other hand, in the presence of Na+ plus ATP, the biphasic response of p-nitrophenyl phosphate hydrolysis is due to K+ acting on extracellular sites. In vanadate-poisoned intact red blood cells, the biphasic response of the ouabain-sensitive Rb+ influx as a function of the external Rb+ concentration failed to develop when there was no Na+ in the extracellular media. In addition, in the absence of extracellular Na+, external Rb+ did not influence the magnitude of inhibition. The present findings indicate that external K+ favors vanadate inhibition by displacing Na+ from unspecified extracellular membrane sites. 相似文献

In this study, we investigated: (a) the effect of melanocyte concentrating hormone (MCH) and neuropeptide glutamine (E)-isoleusine-(I) (NEI) on IP(3) production on an "in vitro" model using slices containing caudate putamen (CP) and accumbens nuclei (ACC); and (b) the interaction between these peptides and with alpha-melanocyte-stimulating-hormone (alpha-MSH) on the production of this second messenger. Only MCH at the highest dose studied (3.6 microM) increased the production of IP(3), whereas at the low concentration (0.6 microM) it did not affect IP(3) levels. NEI and alpha-MSH at both concentrations tested (0.6 and 3.6 microM), did not affect IP(3) production either. However, when NEI or alpha-MSH (at 3.6 microM) were added together with 3.6 microM MCH, the increase in the IP(3) content induced by this last peptide was blocked. 相似文献

Previous studies have shown that the perceived times of voluntary actions and their effects are perceived as shifted towards each other, so that the interval between action and outcome seems shortened. This has been referred to as 'intentional binding' (IB). However, the generality of this effect remains unclear. Here we demonstrate that Intentional Binding also occurs in complex control situations. Using an aircraft supervision task with different autopilot settings, our results first indicated a strong relation between measures of IB and different levels of system automation. Second, measures of IB were related to explicit agency judgement in this applied setting. We discuss the implications for the underlying mechanisms, and for sense of agency in automated environments. 相似文献

Temporary sequential biventricular pacing (BiVP) is a promising treatment for postoperative cardiac dysfunction, but the mechanism for improvement in right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is not understood. In the present study, cardiac output (CO) was optimized by sequential BiVP in six anesthetized, open-chest pigs during control and acute RV pressure overload (RVPO). Ventricular contractility was assessed by the maximum rate of increase of ventricular pressure (dP/dt(max)). Mechanical interventricular synchrony was measured by the area of the normalized RV-left ventricular (LV) pressure diagram (A(PP)). Positive A(PP) indicates RV pressure preceding LV pressure, whereas zero indicates complete synchrony. In the control state, CO was maximized with nearly simultaneous stimulation of the RV and LV, which increased RV (P = 0.006) and LV dP/dt(max) (P = 0.002). During RVPO, CO was maximized with RV-first pacing, which increased RV dP/dt(max) (P = 0.007), but did not affect LV dP/dt(max), and decreased the left-to-right, end-diastolic pressure gradient (P = 0.023). Percent increase of RV dP/dt(max) was greater than LV dP/dt(max) (P = 0.014). There were no increases in end-diastolic pressure to account for increases in dP/dt(max). In control and RVPO, RV dP/dt(max) was linearly related to A(PP) (r = 0.779, P < 0.001). The relation of CO to A(PP) was curvilinear, with a peak in CO with positive A(PP) in the control state (P = 0.004) and with A(PP) approaching zero during RVPO (P = 0.001). These observations imply that, in our model, BiVP optimization improves CO by augmenting RV contractility. This is mediated by changes in mechanical interventricular synchrony. Afterload increases during RVPO exaggerate this effect, making CO critically dependent on simultaneous pressure generation in the RV and LV, with support of RV contractility by transmission of LV pressure across the interventricular septum. 相似文献

Commercial height of the tree is a key variable for estimating the wood stock in tropical forests managed for timber production purposes. Most available measurement devices suffer limitations in this type of forest, promoting low precision measurements with high variation errors. The laser meter device appears as a viable alternative, as in addition to using trigonometric principles, it is not necessary that the device is close to the eyes of the meter to carry out the measurement. The device can be used to measure commercial height of trees on flat or sloping terrain, at different distances from the tree. However, there are no studies evaluating the precision of this device. The objective of this study was to determine the precision of the laser meter method for estimating the commercial height of trees, as compared to the actual measurement in a tropical forest in the Brazilian Amazon. Measurements were made on 300 trees with commercial height between 7 and 14 m. Actual commercial heights were measured with graduated ruler. Applied tests were paired t test, graphical analysis of residuals and calculations of bias statistics, mean absolute deviation, standard deviation of differences, and coefficient of determination (R2). Paired t test indicated that the mean of the heights measured by the laser meter is statistically equal to that of the graduated ruler. Measurements with laser meter did not show bias and had mean error of 0.0745. The standard deviation of the differences indicated dispersion of errors of 0.97, equal to that shown in the graduated rule. Laser meter presents an alternative method for estimating the commercial height of trees in tropical forest in the Brazilian Amazon. There was no tendency to underestimate or overestimate the commercial heights of trees. Use of the laser meter is potentially of use for measuring the commercial height of trees in tropical forests. 相似文献

The goal of the experiment reported was to replicate the previous Sarrazin’s (2000) study in order to verify, with an adequate methodological procedure, whether or not the closure principle applied in spatial
and temporal reproduction tasks. The hypothesis defended was that the closure of the pattern is an intrinsic property of the
structuring process in spatial memory. The stimuli consisted of eight visually presented dots that appeared sequentially with
inter-dot distances corresponding to inter-dot durations. After a learning phase, participants reproduced the spatial (space
condition) or temporal (time condition) characteristics of the target 60 times in succession. We analyzed the variance level
for both element location and Inter-Element-Interval (IEI) on spatial and temporal responses. Two main results emerge from
this experiment: (1) the critical dependency of the closure principle to the nature (spatial or temporal) of the response,
(2) the importance to consider both locations and intervals as complementary information. These results are discussed in the
light of physical system, in particular in term of compensation phenomenon and we proposed a mathematical model that replicates
the qualitative feature of variance for both space and time conditions. 相似文献

The neuropeptide (N) glutamic acid (E) isoleucine (I) amide (NEI) injected into the ventral tegmental area (VTA) or intraventricularly (icv) induces excessive grooming behavior (EGB) and motor activity (MA). Here, we studied whether the cholinergic system is involved in the NEI-induced behavior. The present results demonstrate that atropine, a general muscarinic antagonist, injected icv previous to NEI, suppresses the behavior provoked by icv injections of the peptide, whereas the prior icv injection of dyhidro--erythroidine, a general nicotinic antagonist, did not affect the EGB and MA induced by the peptide. From the experimental evidence, it is suggested that NEI may act specifically on a cholinergic afferent to dopaminergic cells. Also, the results appear to indicate that a neural target, different from the dopamine system, may be activated by the peptide to elicit behavioral changes, such as EGB. 相似文献
