Effects of chronic treatment with cadmium on ATPases, uptake of catecholamines, and lipid peroxidation in rat brain synaptosomes

Journal Article · · Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety; (USA)
The chronic effects of cadmium on specific activities of oligomycin-sensitive (OS) and -insensitive Mg{sup 2+} ATPase, Na(+)-K+ ATPase, lipid peroxidation, and uptake of catecholamines in brain synaptosomes of rats treated daily for 2 or 4 months were studied. Cadmium significantly decreased the specific activities of OS-Mg{sup 2+} ATPase, Na(+)-K+ ATPase, and uptake of ({sup 3}H)-dopamine ({sup 3}H-DA) and ({sup 3}H)norepinephrine ({sup 3}H-NE) and increased the lipid peroxidation.
