Stimulation of the production of unesterified fatty acids in nerve endings of guinea-pig brain in vitro by noradrenaline and 5-hydroxytryptamine

C J Price et al. Biochem J. 1972 Feb.

Abstract

1. Noradrenaline (1mm) and 5-hydroxytryptamine (1mm) stimulated the production of unesterified palmitate, oleate, stearate and arachidonate in nerve endings (synaptosomes) isolated from combined guinea-pig cerebral cortex and cerebellum. 2. Iproniazid phosphate (0.36mm) increased the concentrations of the same acids in osmotically ruptured synaptosomes. Further addition of 1mm-noradrenaline or 1mm-5-hydroxytryptamine reversed this increase. 3. Noradrenaline (0.01mm) stimulated the production of unesterified fatty acids in isolated synaptic membranes. 5-Hydroxytryptamine (0.01mm) stimulated the production of unesterified fatty acids in synaptic membranes and synaptic vesicles.
