[Acetylcholine induced reciprocal changes in the Na, K-ATPase and acetylcholinesterase activity of nerve and membrane preparations of Na, K-ATF-azy].

ATPase and cholinesterase activities in the homogenate of the frog nerve and membrane Na,K-ATPase preparation of the bovine brain were investigated. Preliminary treatment of the nerve and the preparation by acetylcholine solution (10(-6)--10(-7) M) enhanced their Na,K-ATPase activity and reduced their cholinesterase activity. Possible mechanisms of this phenomenon are discussed.
