1.Na+ ,K+ -ATPase and cerebral ischemia
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2010;18(5):381-385
The basic functions of the Na+/K+ -ATPase is to maintain the balance of the Na+/K+ electrochemical gradient. The latter is indispensable for maintaining cell osmotic pressure,regulating cell volume,and maintaining excitable membrane resting potential. The maintenance of the Na+/K+ -ATPase activity plays the important roles in neurotransmitter uptake in neurons and Ca2+ effiux. The decreased Na+/K+ -ATPase activity and dysfunction participate in the process of ischemic brain injury after cerebral ischemia. Ischemic precondi-tioning induces ischemic tolerance by maintaining the Na+/K+ -ATPase activity after ischemia.Cardiotonic steroids and citicoline may play a neuroprotective effect on cerebral ischemia by improving the Na +/K+ -ATPase activity.
