Abstract: | Activity of Na, K -ATPase, acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) in the fractions of the rat brain and spinal cord tissue were studied in rats during a single electroshock (ES) and 5 and 30 minutes after it. GAD activity of the synaptosome fraction was shown to decrease insignificantly, but activity of AChE, Na, K -ATPase and possibly of proteolytic enzymes increased 5 minutes after electroshock and became normal in 30 minutes. It is supposed that the revealed inhibition of Na, K -ATPase activity in the "synaptosomes" of the rat brain cortex could be of pathogenetic significance in the origination of the convulsive process. |
