[Chemoluminescence during ATP hydrolysis by rat brain ATPase under the influence of agents of a narcotic nature].

The activity of the cerebral ATP-ase and chemoluminescence in hydrolysis of the ATP with the cerebral ATP-ase in rats with ether, thiopental and electrically-induced anesthesia was investigated. In the ether anesthesis the ATP-ase activity and the chemoluminescence level decrease. In the thiopental anesthesia they increase, whereas with electrically-induced one they first go up and then fall off. Once the action of the study agents is discontinued the mentioned parameters return back to their control levels.
