It has been well documented that animals exposed to cold show increased activity of thyroid gland. The calorigenic action of thyroid hormone has been demonstrated by a variety of in vivo and in vitro studies. According to Edelman et al., the thyroid thermogenesis is due to activation of energy consuming processes, especially the active sodium transport by the hormone in target tissues. If so, the increase in thyroid activity during cold exposure should induce increased capacity of sodium transport in target tissue and the change in tissue metabolism should be precisely correlated with the change in Na+_K+_ATPase activity of the tissue. This possibility was tested in the present study: in one series, changes in oxygen consumption and Na+_K+_-ATPase activity of liver preparations were measured in rats as a function of thyroid status, in order to establish the effect of thyroid hormone on the tissue respiration and enzyme system in another series, the effect of cold stimulus on the serum thyroid hormone level, hepatic tissue oxygen consumption and Na+_K+_ATPase activity in rats. The results obtained are as follows: 1. The Na+_dependent oxygen consumption of liver slices, the oxygen consumption of liver mitochondria and the Na+_K+_ATPase activity of liver preparations were significantly inhibited in hypothyroidism and activated in hyperthyroidism. Kinetic analysis indicated that the Vmax. of Na+_K+_ATPase was decreased in hypothyroidism and increased in hyperth)'roidism. 2. In cold exposed rats, the serum triiodothyronine (T₃) level increased rapidly during the initial one day of cold exposure, then declined slowly to the control level after two weeks. The serum thyroxine (T₄) level decreased gradually throughout the cold exposure. Accordingly the T₃/T₄ratio increased. The mitochondrial oxygen consumption and the Na+_dependent oxygen consumption of liver slices increased during the first two days and then remained unchanged thereafter The activity of the Na+_K+_ATPase in liver preparations increased during cold exposure with a time course similar to that of oxygen consumption. Kinetic analysis indicated that the Vmax. of Na+_K+_ATPase increased. 3. Once the animal was adapted to cold, induction of hypothyroidism did not significantly alter the hepatic oxygen consumption and Na+_K+_ATPase activity. These results indicate that: 1) thyroid hormone increases capacities of mitochondrial respiration and active sodium transport in target tissues such as liver; 2) the increased T₃level during the initial period of cold exposure facilitates biosynthesis of Na+_K+_ATPase and mitochondrial enzymes for oxidative phosphorylation, leading to enhanced production and utilization of ATP, hence heat production.

중추신경계의 혈관폐쇄 또는 충격손상에 의한 허혈병소에서 진행되는 병리적 변화에 산소유리라디칼이 중요한 역할을 할 것으로 시사되고 있다. 저자는 산소유리라디칼이 뇌조직에 미치는 영향 중 특히 신경세포 정지막전위 유지에 중요한 $Na^+-K^+-ATPase$의 활성도에 미치는 영향을 관찰하기 위하여 산틴산화효소 반응계와 뇌조직미크로좀을 이용하여 본 연구를 시행하였다. 미크로좀분획(microsomal fraction)을 산틴과 산틴산화효소와 함께 반응시켰을 때, 분획의 $Na^+-K^+-ATPase$의 활성도는 현저한 불활성화를 보인 반면, $Mg^{++}-ATPase$의 활성도는 별로 영향을 받지 않았다. 이 불활성화는 산틴과 신틴산화효소 중 어느 한 물질이라도 반응계에 존재하지 않는 경우에는 나타나지 않았고, 두 물질이 같이 반응계에 존재할 때 나타났다. 산틴과 산틴산화효소의 반응에서 생성되는 산소유리라디칼들 중, 어떤 것이 $Na^+-K^+-ATPase$불활성화에 관계하고 있는가를 알아보기 위하여, 산수유리라디칼 각각에 대하여 제독작용을 가진 효소나 화학물질을 사용하여 불활성화의 저해유무를 관찰하였다. $O_{\bar{2}}{\cdot}$의 제독효소인 superoxide dismutase, $H_2O_2$의 제독효소인 catalase와 $^1O_2$의 제독물질인 1,4-diazabixyclo(2,2,2)octane을 각각 사용하였을 때, 이들 물질들이 농도에 비례하여 $Na^+-K^+-ATPase$의 불활성화가 저해되었다. 그러나 $OH{\cdot}$의 제독물질인 mannitol은 뚜렷한 효과를 보이지 못했다. 이상의 결과는 산소유리라디칼들 중 $O_{\bar{2}}{\cdot},\;H_2O_2$ 및 $^1O_2$가 $Na^+-K^+-ATPase$의 불활성화에 관계하고 있고, $OH{\cdot}$는 거의 관계하지 않는다는 것을 시사하여 주었다. 이로 미루어, 산소유리라디칼에 의한 뇌조직 $Na^+-K^+-ATPase$의 불활성화는 뇌 허혈병소에서 관찰되는 신경세로의 기능적 장해를 유발시키는 한 요인으로 사료되었다.

The purpose of this investigation was to determine the inhibition of $Na^+,\;K^+$-ATPase, cyclicAMP phophodiesterase and platelet activation by secondary metabolites isolated from mar ine organisms. The secondary metabolites were isolated and identified as six diterpenoids(1 : astrogorgin, 2 : ophirin, 3 : calicophirin B, 4, 5 and 6 : cladiellin) from the dichloromethane extract of Muricellajsp., four ceramides(1,2,3, and 4) from Acabaria undulata and three antharaquinones(1,2 : crysophanol, and 3 : physcion) from Urechis unicintus. The results demonstrated that diterpenoids(2,3, and 4) showed the inhibition of cyclicAMP phosphodiesterase, and ceramides(1,3, and 4) showed the inhibition of cyclicAMP phosphodiesterase and thrombin(0.1 units/ml)-induced aggregation of washed rabbit platelet, and anthrapuinones((1,2, and 3) showed the inhibition of $Na^+,\;K^+$-ATPase. Among the anthraquionones, 1,2-dimethoxy-3-methyl-8-hydroxy-anthraquinone(1) showed the inhibition of collagen(1.0 ${\mu}g$/ml)-induced aggregation in a concenration-dependent manner with IC50 value of 42.8 ${\mu}g$M.

Slices of rat corpora lutea(CL) incubated with. prostaglandin $F_{{2{\alpha}}}(PGF_{2{\alpha}})$ in Krebs-Hensenleit (K-H) Ringer solution showed a decrease in $Na^+-K^+$-ATPase activity after 60 min of incubation. However, $PGF_{2{\alpha}}$ in vitro did not alter $Na^+-K^+$-ATPase activity of isolated luteal membrane fractions. Following $PGF_{2{\alpha}}$ induced in vivo luteal regression, reduction of Vmax an elevation of the activation energy above transition temperature of the lipid phase of the membrane occurred without changes of Km, optimum pH and transition temperature. These results suggest that reduction of $Na^+-K^+$-ATPase activity after $PGF_{2{\alpha}}$ treatment may be due to the reduction of the number of enzyme molecules or to masking of the active site of the enzyme without any change in enzyme characteristics. In addition, a change in membrane bound enzyme activity may be an early step in $PGF_{2{\alpha}}$ induced luleolysis.

The hypoglycemic and hypolipidaemic effects of fenugreek seeds (Trigonella foenum graecum) are well established. Owing to the wide spread use of the seeds by healthy individuals and by diabetic patients we wanted to test whether the seeds can affect biological systems such as membrane transport function. In the present study fenugreek seed polyphenols were extracted and their effect on erythrocyte membrane-bound sodium-potassium adenosine triphosphatase $(Na^+/K^+-ATPase)$ activity was studied in vitro. Fenugreek seed polyphenols inhibited $Na^+/K^+-ATPase$ in erythrocyte membrane of diabetic and normal subjects. Maximum inhibition was observed at $100\;{\mu}l$ of extract containing 0.75 mM gallic acid equivalents. The uncoupling of membrane ATPases in vitro suggest that polyphenols from fenugreek seeds may possess a positive inotropic effect.

The action of serotonin on the sodium plus potassium activated ATPase activity in the rabbit red cell membrane has been investigated. The experiments were also designed to determine the mechanism of action of serotonin on the ATPase activity. The following results were obtained. 1) The NaK ATPase activity of rabbit red cell ghosts is stimulated by low concentration of serotonin but inhibited by higher concentration, and the concentration of serotonin for maximal activity is about 2mM. The pH optimum for the serotonin sensitive component is 8.0. 2) The activating effect of serotonin on the ATPase, with a given concentration of sodium in the medium, is increased by raising the potassium concentration but the ratio of activity is decreased. 3) The activating effect of serotonin on the ATPase, with a given concentration of potassium in the medium, is increased by raising the sodium concentration but the ratio of activity is decreased. 4) The ATPase activity is increased by small amounts of calcium but inhibited by larger amounts and the ratio of activity by serotonin is decreased by small amounts of calcium but increased by larger amounts. 5) The action of serotonin on the ATPase activity was not related to the amino group of lysine, the hydroxyl group of threonine, the carboxyl group of aspartic acid, or the imidazole group of histidine. 6) The action of serotonin on the ATPase activity is due to sulfhydryl group of the enzyme of NaK ATPase.

In recent years much interesting information about the mechanism of the $Na^+-K^+$ activated ATPase has been obtained from investigation of the $K^+-activated$ phosphatase activity which appears to be catalysed by the same enzyme. Also several studies have indicated that a $K^+-activated p-nitrophenylphosphatase activity is intimately related to the ATPase activity. And then the exact relation of p-nitrophenylphosphatase activity to $Na^+-K^+$ ATPase activity is not known. The effects of some ions and drugs on the p-nitrophenylphosphatase activity of the rat brain were investigated and the results were summarized as follows. 1. The p-nitrophenylphosphatase was stimulated markedly by low concentrations of $K^+$, while the activity was activated slightly in the presence of $Na^+$ and oligomycin. 2. Addition of both ATP and $Na^+$ caused a remarkable increase in the activity of the $K^+-dependent$ phosphatase at low concentrations of $K^+$. 3. In the presence of $Na^+$ and low concentrations of $K^+$, oligomycin activated the p-nitrophenylphosphatase. 4. O1igomycin inhibited the stimulation of the enzyme activity caused by $Na^{+}+ATP$. 5. Ouabain inhibited the $K^+-dependent$ p-nitrophenylphosphatase activity more in the presence of ATP and $Na^+$ than in their absence. 6. Quinidine inhibited both $Na^+-K^+$ ATPase and p-nitrophenylphosphatase. These inhibitory effects of the drug were partially antagonized by increasing $K^+$ concentrations. The sensitivity of the $K^+-dependent$ p-nitrophenylphosphatase to quinidine was greater than the that of $Na^+-K^+$ ATPase.

The preventive effects of sodium molybdate on the acute toxicity of lead were studied by investigating tissue accumulation of lead, changes of nerve conduction velocity and concentrations of metabolites related to function of sciatic nerve in rats treated with lead, sodium molybdate and both, respectively. In lead-intoxicated rat, the conduction velocity, myo-inositol concentration and $Na^{+}/K^{+}$ ATPase activity of sciatic nerve were decreased by about 33 %, 48 % and 58 %, respectively. However, sodium molybdate treatment significantly normalized the conduction velocity, $Na^{+}/K^{+}$ ATPase activity and myo-inositol concentration of sciatic nerve in lead-intoxicated rat. Also, sodium molybdate treatment decreased the contents of lead in blood and sciatic nerve through promotion of urinary excretion of lead. But sodium molybdate treatment did not affect the glucose concentration in sciatic nerve. These results suggest that sodium molybdate prevented peripheral neuropathy not only by reducing lead contents in sciatic nerve and blood, but also by enhancing $Na^{+}/K^{+}$ ATPase activity in sciatic nerve.

본 실험은 담배에서 염스트레스에 따른 생리적 반응의 연구결과(제1보)를 기초로, NaCl를 농도별로 처리하여 생체내에서 일어나는 생화학적인 변화의 구명을 통해 염해기작의 기초자료로 얻고자 수행한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 총단백질과 가용성단백질은 염농도가 높아질수록 감소하였으며 처리간에는 120mM까지는 완만히 감소하였고, 150mM에서는 급격한 감소를 나타냈다. 전기영동 패턴은 염농도의 증가에 따라 새로운 polypeptide band의 생성과 소멸은 없었으며 약 74Kd의 polypeptide band에서 30mM과 60mM까지는 뚜렷한 양이 증가하였고 90mM부터는 감소하였다. 엽록소함량은 염농도의 증가에 따라 감소하였으며 특히 염해에 의한 반응은 엽록소b보다는 엽록소a가 민감하였다. ATPase활성과 peroxidase의 활성은 염농도가 높아질수록 120mM까지는 일정하게 증가하였으나 150mM에서 급격히 증가하여 담배의 염해의 생화학적인 제한범위는 120mM로 나타났다.
