    Abstract

    The effects of adrenergic agonists, antagonists and other drugs on the Na+, K+-ATPase and Mg2+-ATPase activities of rat cerebral cortex synaptosomes have been determined. Noradrenaline, isoprenaline, dopamine, 1-DOPA and catechol stimulated the activities of the enzymes. The stimulatory effects were not prevented by low concentrations of adrenergic antagonists and apparently depend upon the presence in the molecules of a catechol moiety.
