摘要: Electrical stimulation of the rat locus coeruleus causes about a 300% increase in activity tyrosine hydroxylase prepared from hippocampus on stimulated side and assayed presence subsaturating concentrations pteridine cofactor. Addition calcium or cAMP to soluble preparations isolated produces similar activation hydroxylase. The produced by is reversed addition chelator, EGTA, while electrical unaffected EGTA assay medium. medium appears be mediated part alterations kinetic properties enzyme. All treatment enzyme have an increased affinity for substrate cofactor decreased endproduct inhibitor, norepinephrine. These results are suggestive that which occurs during periods impulse flow noradrenergic neurons may initiated fluxes changes steady state levels accompany neuronal depolarization.
