[Effect of hypothermia on reuptake of neuromediators by synaptosomes].

Cranio-cerebral hypothermia (temperature of the body 32-30 degrees C, of the brain 29-27 degrees C) was studied for its effect on the reuptake of neuromediators (3H-noradrenaline and [14C]GABA) by the cortex and hypothalamus synaptosomes of the rat brain. It was found that the reuptake of [3H]noradrenaline by the cortex synaptosomes under narcosis and cranio-cerebral hypothermia was inhibited much stronger than that by the hypothalamus synaptosomes. At the same time GABA-ergic synapses of the cortex and hypothalamus were not sensitive to narcosis. Cranio-cerebral hypothermia essentially inhibited the reuptake of [14C] GABA by synaptosomes and hypothalamus.
