Free Fatty Acids Modulate the Specific Activity and Expression of Alpha and Beta Subunits of Sodium Potassium ATPase of Cultured Rat Cortical Astrocytes.
Abstract: The fatty acid composition of the membrane plays an important role in the functioning of the membrane-bound enzyme Na+K+ATPase. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of the free fatty acids at various levels of unsaturation, namely, stearic acid, linoleic acid, arachidonic acid and docosahexaenoic acid, on the alpha and beta subunits of sodium potassium ATPase present on the primary cultures of rat astrocyte membrane. Membrane was …
