Abstract:The degree of substrate inhibition of acetylcholine esterase activity decreases in plasma synaptosome membranes isolated from the cerebral cortex of rats subjected to short-term and prolonged hypothermia at 20~ while activation energy and breakpoint of the temperature curve in the Arrhenius coordinates remain unaffected. The observed changes are supposed to compensate the inhibitory effect of hypothermia on enzyme activity.
