[Increased ATP-hydrolase activity of the brain mitochondria under the effect of aminazine (electron cytochemical study)].

The localization of Mg-stimulated ATPase activity was determined in the sensomotor cortex mitochondria of Wag rats after aminazin administration (15 mg/kg). Apart from normal mitochondria containing no reaction product, a number of altered mitochondria with different localization in them of the ATPase reaction product were recorded. The intact animals showed no sediment in the mitochondria. It is suggested that aminazin-induced increase in ATP-hydrolase activity is caused by two factors: neuroleptic-induced decrease in glycolytic and oxidative cell activity and increased permeability of mitochondrial membranes.
