Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study was carried out to investigate the effect of rapid eye movement sleep (REMS) deprivation (REMSD) on the cytomorphology of the dorsal raphe (DR) neurons and to evaluate the possible role of REMSD-induced increased noradrenalin (NA) in mediating such effects. METHODS Rats were REMS deprived by the flowerpot method; free moving normal home cage rats, large platform and post REMS-deprived recovered rats were used as controls. Further, to evaluate if the effects were induced by NA, separate sets of experimental rats were treated (i.p.) with α1-adrenoceptor antagonist, prazosin (PRZ). Histomorphometric analysis of DR neurons in stained brain sections were performed in experimental and control rats; neurons in inferior colliculus (IC) served as anatomical control. RESULTS The mean size of DR neurons was larger in REMSD group compared to controls, whereas, neurons in the recovered group of rats did not significantly differ than those in the control animals. Further, mean cell size in the post-REMSD PRZ-treated animals was comparable to those in the control groups. IC neurons were not affected by REMSD. CONCLUSIONS REMS loss has been reported to impair several physiological, behavioral and cellular processes. The mean size of the DR neurons was larger in the REMS deprived group of rats than those in the control groups; however, in the REMS deprived and prazosin treated rats the size was comparable to the normal rats. These results showed that REMSD induced increase in DR neuronal size was mediated by NA acting on α1-adrenoceptor. The findings suggest that the sizes of DR neurons are sensitive to REMSD, which if not compensated could lead to neurodegeneration and associated disorders including memory loss and Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cerebrospinal fluid sodium concentration ([Na(+)](csf)) increases during migraine, but the cause of the increase is not known. OBJECTIVE Analyze biochemical pathways that influence [Na(+)](csf) to identify mechanisms that are consistent with migraine. METHOD We reviewed sodium physiology and biochemistry publications for links to migraine and pain. RESULTS Increased capillary endothelial cell (CEC) Na(+), K(+), -ATPase transporter (NKAT) activity is probably the primary cause of increased [Na(+)](csf). Physiological fluctuations of all NKAT regulators in blood, many known to be involved in migraine, are monitored by receptors on the luminal wall of brain CECs; signals are then transduced to their abluminal NKATs that alter brain extracellular sodium ([Na(+)](e)) and potassium ([K(+)](e)). CONCLUSIONS We propose a theoretical mechanism for aura and migraine when NKAT activity shifts outside normal limits: (1) CEC NKAT activity below a lower limit increases [K(+)](e), facilitates cortical spreading depression, and causes aura; (2) CEC NKAT activity above an upper limit elevates [Na(+)](e), increases neuronal excitability, and causes migraine; (3) migraine-without-aura may arise from CEC NKAT over-activity without requiring a prior decrease in activity and its consequent spreading depression; (4) migraine triggers disturb, and treatments improve, CEC NKAT homeostasis; (5) CEC NKAT-induced regulation of neural and vasomotor excitability coordinates vascular and neuronal activities, and includes occasional pathology from CEC NKAT-induced apoptosis or cerebral infarction.

Abstract
The sodium(Na)- and potassium(K)-activated adenosine-triphosphatase (Na,K-ATPase) is a membrane enzyme that energizes the Na-pump by hydrolysing adenosine triphosphate and wasting energy as heat, so playing a role in thermogenesis and energy balance. Na,K-ATPase regulation by insulin is controversial; in tissue of hyperglycemic-hyperinsulinemic ob/ob mice, we reported a reduction, whereas in streptozotocin-treated hypoinsulinemic-diabetic Swiss and ob/ob mice we found an increased activity, which is against a genetic defect and suggests a regulation by hyperinsulinemia. In human adipose tissue from obese patients, Na,K-ATPase activity was reduced and negatively correlated with body mass index, oral glucose tolerance test-insulinemic area and blood pressure. We hypothesized that obesity is associated with tissue Na,K-ATPase reduction, apparently linked to hyperinsulinemia, which may repress or inactivate the enzyme, thus opposing thyroid hormones and influencing thermogenesis and obesity development. Insulin action on Na,K-ATPase, in vivo, might be mediated by the high level of non-esterified fatty acids, which are circulating enzyme inhibitors and increase in obesity, diabetes and hypertension. In this paper, we analyse animal and human tissue Na,K-ATPase, its level, and its regulation and behaviour in some hyperinsulinemic and insulin-resistant states; moreover, we discuss the link of the enzyme with non-esterified fatty acids and attempt to interpret and organize in a coherent view the whole body of the exhaustive literature on this complicated topic.

Abstract
Rapid eye movement sleep plays a vital role in the survival of animals. Its deprivation causes alterations in brain functions and behaviors including activities of important enzymes, neurotransmitter levels, impairment of neural excitability and memory consolidation. However, there was a lack of knowledge regarding the effects of rapid eye movement sleep deprivation on neuronal morphology that may get affected much earlier than any permanent damage to the neurons. In the present study, some of these issues have been addressed by studying the effects of rapid eye movement sleep deprivation on various morphological parameters viz. neuronal perimeter, area and shape of neurons located in brain areas known to regulate rapid eye movement sleep and as a control in other brain areas which do not regulate rapid eye movement sleep. The results showed that rapid eye movement sleep deprivation differentially affected neurons depending on their physiological correlates of rapid eye movement sleep and neurotransmitter content. The effects could be reversed if the animals were allowed to recover from rapid eye movement sleep loss or by applying alpha1-adrenergic antagonist, prazosin. The findings in rats support reported data and help explaining previous observations.

Abstract
The adrenal cortex elaborates two major groups of steroids that have been arbitrarily classified as glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids, despite the fact that carbohydrate metabolism is intimately linked to mineral balance in mammals. In fact, glucocorticoids assured both of these functions in all living cells, animal and photosynthetic, prior to the appearance of aldosterone in teleosts at the dawn of terrestrial colonization. The evolutionary drive for a hormone specifically designed for hydromineral regulation led to zonation for the conversion of 18-hydroxycorticosterone into aldosterone through the catalytic action of a synthase in the secluded compartment of the adrenal zona glomerulosa. Corticoid hormones exert their physiological action by binding to receptors that belong to a transcription factor superfamily, which also includes some of the proteins regulating steroid synthesis. Steroids stimulate sodium absorption by the activation and/or de novo synthesis of the ion-gated, amiloride-sensitive sodium channel in the apical membrane and that of the Na+/K+-ATPase in the basolateral membrane. Receptors, channels, and pumps apparently are linked to the cytoskeleton and are further regulated variously by methylation, phosphorylation, ubiquination, and glycosylation, suggesting a complex system of control at multiple checkpoints. Mutations in genes for many of these different proteins have been described and are known to cause clinical disease.

Abstract
In less than 1 min ouabain maximally inhibits oxygen consumption due to gramicidin-induced ATP turnover by the Na+/K+-ATPase in hepatocytes. Ouabain rapidly inhibits respiration on palmitate or glucose by only 6-10% indicating that the Na+/K+-ATPase plays a minor role in cell ATP turnover. 29% of the extra oxygen consumption of hepatocytes isolated from hyperthyroid rats was inhibited by ouabain showing that the Na+/K+-ATPase is responsible for some but not the majority of the stimulation of respiration induced by thyroid hormone.

Abstract
The factors that determine the activity of the Na,K pump in vivo were investigated by measuring Na,K pump activity under in vivo conditions in human red cells and relating it to the intracellular content of sodium ([Na]i) and potassium ([K]i) and the number of pump units per cell (pump number). Na,K pump activity was measured as ouabain-sensitive K+ influx, pump number was determined from the maximal binding of 3H-ouabain to intact cells, and [Na]i and [K]i were measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometry in washed, packed cells. In the 81 samples studied, pump activity per cell was significantly correlated with pump number (r = .64, P less than 0.001), but was negatively correlated with [Na]i (r = -.28, P less than 0.02) and was not correlated with [K]i. An inverse relationship was found between pump number and [Na]i. When pump activity was expressed as activity per pump unit, rather than per cell, a significant relationship was seen between pump activity and [Na]i (r = .50, P less than 0.001), and a negative correlation existed between the activity per pump unit and [K]i (r = -.29, P less than 0.01). The effect of intracellular Na+ at physiologic levels on pump activity was not strong, with the activity per pump unit increasing only 25% with a doubling of [Na]i. These results indicate that pump number is the major determinant of pump activity in human red cells in vivo, while [Na]i and [K]i are of secondary importance.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Nerve conduction slowing, a hallmark of both experimental and human diabetic neuropathy, is improved or corrected by aldose reductase inhibitors such as sorbinil. Recent animal experiments attribute acutely reversible nerve conduction slowing in diabetes to a myo-inositol (MI)-related defect in the nerve Na-K-ATPase (which generates the transmembrane sodium and potassium potentials necessary for nerve impulse conduction and the sodium gradient necessary for sodium-dependent uptake of substrates). This MI-related abnormality in Na-K-ATPase function is currently viewed as a cyclic, metabolic defect involving sequential alteration of Na-dependent MI uptake, MI content, MI incorporation into membrane phospholipids, and phospholipid-dependent Na-K-ATPase function in peripheral nerve. Aldose reductase inhibitors have been shown to normalize both nerve MI content and nerve Na-K-ATPase activity. These observations suggest that the acute effects of aldose reductase inhibitors on nerve conduction in both diabetic animals and patients may be mediated by correction of an underlying MI-related nerve Na-K-ATPase defect. Furthermore, this sorbinil-corrected Na-K-ATPase defect in diabetic nerve may contribute to other biochemical, functional, and structural abnormalities present in patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy.

Abstract
To investigate mechanisms whereby oxidant injury of cells results in cell dysfunction and death, cultured endothelial cells or P388D1 murine macrophage-like cells were exposed to oxidants including H2O2, O2-. (generated by the enzymatic oxidation of xanthine), or to stimulated polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN). Although Trypan Blue exclusion was not diminished before 30 min, cellular ATP was found to fall to less than 30% of control values within 3 min of exposure to 5 mM H2O2. Stimulated PMN plus P388D1 caused a 50% fall in cellular ATP levels. During the first minutes of oxidant injury, total adenylate content of cells fell by 85%. Cellular ADP increased 170%, AMP increased 900%, and an 83% loss of ATP was accompanied by a stoichiometric increase in IMP and inosine. Calculated energy charge [(ATP + 1/2 AMP)/(ATP + ADP + AMP)] fell from 0.95 to 0.66. Exposure of P388D1 to oligomycin plus 2-deoxyglucose (which inhibit oxidative and glycolytic generation of ATP, respectively) resulted in a rate of ATP fall similar to that induced by H2O2. In addition, nucleotide alterations induced by exposure to oligomycin plus 2-deoxyglucose were qualitatively similar to those induced by the oxidant. Loss of cell adenylates could not be explained by arrest of de novo purine synthesis or increased ATP consumption by the Na+-K+ ATPase or the mitochondrial F0-ATPase. These results indicate that H2O2 causes a rapid and profound fall in cellular ATP levels similar to that seen when ATP production is arrested by metabolic inhibitors.

Abstract
The effects of noradenaline (via alpha 1-adrenoceptors) and of the peptidic hormones vasopressin and angiotensin on the Na-K pump have been studied in rat isolated liver cells. The three hormones increased the cytosolic Ca concentration, stimulated the Na-K pump and decreased the internal Na concentration of the cells. The effects were dose-dependent and were blocked by the corresponding antagonists. The simultaneous addition of maximal doses of noradrenaline and angiotensin or vasopressin were not additive suggesting that the hormones use a common mechanism to stimulate the carrier. Incubating the cells in Ca-free medium for long periods (Ca-depletion) increased the Na-K pump activity and reduced the stimulatory action of vasopressin, angiotensin and noradrenaline. The effect of the Ca indicator quin2, used as an intracellular Ca chelator, was also studied. The cells were loaded with a maximal concentration of [3H]-quin2 acetoxymethyl ester in the presence of external Ca for 6 min. The final cell content was 3.1 nmol quin2 mg-1 cell dry wt. In these cells the cytosolic Ca, as monitored from the fluorescence emission of the indicator, was about 200 nM and Na-K pump activity was normal and the cells remained responsive to the three hormones. Loading the cells with quin2 in the absence of external Ca reduced the [Ca]i from 200 nM to about 40 nM and increased the Na-K pump activity but not as a result of a rise in internal Na concentration. In addition, the rat hepatocytes were no longer sensitive to the hormones. It is proposed that Ca inhibits the Na-K pump by binding the internal sites and that vasopressin, angiotensin and noradrenaline stimulate the carrier by interfering with the inhibitory Ca sites.

Abstract
The specific binding of tritiated ouabain to endothelial Na/K ATPase was used to quantitate the density of pump sites in the human corneal endothelium. Donor eyes, unsuitable for use in keratoplasty, were obtained from the Wisconsin Lions Eye Bank. The endothelium of each donor eye was examined using wide-field specular microscopy, and the specular micrographs were traced and digitized for the determination of cell density. Ouabain binding was measured in matched pairs of isolated endothelial sheets. A total of 26 pairs of donor eyes, ranging in age from 11 through 91 years, were studied. Twenty pairs, determined to have normal endothelia, were found to have a constant pump site density which was independent of donor age. Six donor pairs had moderate guttata; in this group pump site density was significantly increased. These results indicate that, although pump site density is normally constant in the human corneal endothelium, conditions which increase endothelial permeability, such as guttata, can cause a compensatory increase in pump site density and presumably pump function.

Abstract
Nerve conduction slowing in acute diabetes in animals has been associated with both a diminished axolemmal transmembrane Na+ potential and a myo-inositol-related defect in nerve Na+-K+-ATPase activity. The interaction between these two potentially related defects, their reversibility, and their possible role in the nerve conduction slowing and axonopathy of diabetes are not well defined. Therefore, the effects of rigorous insulin replacement on peripheral nerve conduction velocity, myoinositol content, and Na+-K+-ATPase activity were studied in the spontaneously diabetic BB-Wistar rat, an animal model that manifests both conduction slowing and a characteristic progressive axonopathy. Twelve weeks of sustained hyperglycemia reduced both motor conduction velocity and Na+-K+-ATPase activity in sciatic nerve. Six weeks of subsequent vigorous insulin replacement normalized the enzymatic defect but only partially corrected diminished nerve conduction velocity. Hence, nerve conduction slowing in diabetic animals may be partly attributable to reduced nerve Na+-K+-ATPase activity, but a less readily reversible component of conduction slowing probably reflects structural alterations that occur in nerve within the first 3 mo of diabetes.

Abstract
Necturus gallbladder epithelial cells regulate their volume after a change in solution osmolality. We determined the intracellular activities of Na, K and Cl when the mucosal bathing solution osmolality was increased 18% by the addition of mannitol. The gallbladder was mounted in a rapid flow chamber and punctured simultaneously with two single-barrelled microelectrodes. One electrode sensed membrane potential and the other was sensitive to the activity of Na, K or Cl. Cell volume measurements, made in previous studies utilizing quantitative light microscopy, indicated that hypertonicity of the mucosal bath first caused a cell shrinkage of 15% followed by volume readjustment. Some loss of Na, K and Cl was observed during shrinkage; subsequently during volume regulation, the intracellular quantities of all three ions increased. The loss of Na during the initial cell shrinkage could be blocked by ouabain and was therefore due to increased transport. K and Cl losses were probably related to the increase in their concentrations during shrinkage. The gain of Na, K and Cl during volume regulation was similar in magnitude to the loss of these solutes during cell shrinkage. The increase of Na, K and Cl during volume regulation accounted for about 60% of the increase of cell solutes during this period indicating that other solutes also contributed to the volume regulation response.

Abstract
Sodium transport in astrocytes in homogeneous primary cultures from mouse brain cortex were investigated with radiotracer (22Na) and electrophysiological methods. The equilibrated Na+ content was 190 nmol X mg-1 protein and the influx and efflux rates were identical at about 560 nmol X mg-1 X min-1. No significant change was observed in Na+ efflux or influx when external K+ was raised from 5.4 to 12 or 54 mM, but the Na+ content decreased. Intracellular Na+ loading, evoked by previous exposure to ice-cold K+-free medium, double the Na+ efflux. Ouabain, a Na+-K+ exchange inhibitor, exerted a small, nonsignificant inhibition of Na+ efflux at both 5.4 and 12 mM K+ and caused a large increase in Na+ content. At 5.4 mM K+, amiloride, a Na+-H+ exchange inhibitor, decreased both influx and efflux of Na+ and caused an increase in Na+ content. Furosemide, an inhibitor of a cation-Cl- carrier, decreased both content and influx of Na+ slightly but had no significant effect on Na+ efflux. The effects of amiloride or furosemide on Na+ influx were abolished at elevated (12 and 54 mM) K+. Attempts to stimulate the Na+-K+ pump with elevated external K+ or internal Na+ produced no electrogenic component of the membrane potential, probably owing to the high K+ permeability. Based on the present results and earlier experiments on K+ influx, it is concluded that 1) the Na+-K+ pump of astrocytes under normal conditions transports more K+ than Na+; 2) intracellular Na+ loading increases Na+ efflux; 3) some Na+-H+ exchange and cotransport of Na+ and Cl- seem to occur at 5.4 mM K+; and 4) neither of the latter two transport mechanisms is enhanced at elevated K+ concentrations.

Abstract
Nerve conduction impairment in experimental diabetes has been empirically but not mechanistically linked to altered nerve myo-inositol metabolism. The phospholipid-dependent membrane-bound sodium-potassium ATPase provides a potential mechanism to relate defects in diabetic peripheral nerve myo-inositol-phospholipid metabolism, impulse conduction, and energy utilization. Therefore, the effect of streptozocin-induced diabetes mellitus and dietary myo-inositol supplementation on rat sciatic nerve sodium-potassium ATPase was studied. ATPase activity was measured enzymatically in sciatic nerve homogenates from 4-wk streptozocin diabetic rats and age-matched controls either fed a standard or 1% myo-inositol supplemented diet. The sodium-potassium ATPase components were assessed by ouabain inhibition or the omission of sodium and potassium ions. Diabetes reduced the composite ATPase activity recovered in crude homogenates of sciatic nerve. The 40% reduction in the sodium-potassium ATPase was selectively prevented by 1% myo-inositol supplementation (which preserved normal nerve conduction). Thus, in diabetic peripheral nerve, abnormal myo-inositol metabolism is associated with abnormal sodium-potassium ATPase activity. The mechanism of the effect of dietary myo-inositol to correct diabetic nerve conduction may be through changes in a sodium-potassium ATPase, possibly via changes in myo-inositol-containing phospholipids.

Abstract
Noradrenaline, which mobilizes Ca from intracellular stores, stimulated the Na-K pump in isolated rat liver cells. This resulted in transient decreases in internal Na content and external K concentration. The effect of the hormones was observed in the presence of the beta-adrenergic antagonist propranolol and was blocked by the alpha-antagonist phenoxybenzamine. Prazosin appeared to be 1000 times more potent than yohimbine in suppressing the cell response to the hormone, suggesting that the effect is mediated by an activation of alpha 1-adrenergic receptors. Externally applied ATP and the Ca ionophore A23187 which, in common with alpha-agonists, deplete internal Ca stores in this tissue, similarly stimulated the Na-K pump and transiently decreased internal Na and external K. The effects of noradrenaline and ATP were not additive. Moreover, the cell response to ATP was observed in the presence of the alpha-antagonist phenoxybenzamine, indicating that though acting via separate receptors, noradrenaline and ATP use a common mechanism to alter the carrier. The effect of noradrenaline and A23187 on the Na-K pump was not dependent on the presence of extracellular Ca. In contrast, when the hepatocytes were incubated in Ca-free medium for long periods (cell Ca depletion) the activity of the Na-K pump was increased to a level corresponding to that induced by maximal doses of noradrenaline. In these conditions, noradrenaline and A23187 did not increase the pump activity further. In cells in which the Na content was raised, leading to a 3-fold increase in the Na-K pump activity, noradrenaline continued to be able to stimulate the pump. Again long-term incubations in Ca-free medium increased the pump activity and the effect of noradrenaline was greatly reduced. It is proposed that in isolated rat liver cells alpha-agonists and applied ATP influence the Na-K pump by releasing Ca bound to plasma membranes, thus removing the inhibitory effect of this ion on the Na pump.
