| Abstract | Naloxone is a specific competitive antagonist of morphine, acting on opiate receptors, located on neuronal membranes. The effects of in vivo administration of naloxone on energy-consuming non-mitochondrial ATP-ases were studied in two different types of synaptic plasma membranes from rat cerebral cortex, known to contain a high density of opiate receptors. The enzyme activities of Na$^{+}$, K$^{+}$-ATP-ase, Ca$^{2+}$, Mg$^{2+}$-ATP-ase and Mg$^{2+}$-ATP-ase and of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) were evaluated on synaptic plasma membranes obtained from control and treated animals with effective dose of naloxone (12μg · kg$^{−1}$ i.m. 30 minutes). In control (vehicle-treated) animals specific enzyme activities assayed on these two types of synaptic plasma membranes are different, being higher on synaptic plasma membranes of II type than of I type, because the first fraction is more enriched in synaptic plasma membranes. The acute treatment with naloxone produced a significant decrease in Ca$^{2+}$,Mg$^{2+}$-ATP-ase activity and an increase in AChE activity, only in synaptic plasma membranes of II type. The decrease of Ca$^{2+}$,Mg$^{2+}$-ATP-ase enzymatic activity and the increased AChE activity are related to the interference of the drug on Ca$^{2+}$ homeostasis in synaptosoplasm, that leads to the activation of calcium-dependent processes, i.e. the extrusion of neurotransmitter. These findings give further evidence that pharmacodynamic characteristics of naloxone are also related to increase [Ca$^{2+}$]$_{ i }$, interfering with enzyme systems (Ca$^{2+}$,Mg$^{2+}$-ATP-ase) and that this drug increases acetylcholine catabolism in synaptic plasma membranes of cerebral cortex. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
