Abstract: Aim To investigate the effects of propofol and ketamine on Na+, K+-ATPase activity in rat brain synaptosomes.Methods Thirty SD rats were divided randomly into three groups. The aminals were given intraperitoneally (ip)normal saline 10ml/kg (control group), propofol 100mg/kg or ketamine 100mg/kg, respectively. Na+, K+-ATPase activity of synaptosmes was assassed by spectrophotometric analysis.Results In the propofol group Na+, K+-ATPase activities of cerebrocortical, hippocampal and brain stem synaptosomes were significantly inhibited as compared with those in the control group (P<0.01). In the ke-tamine group, Na+, K+-ATPase activities of cerebrocortical and brain stem synaptosomes were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.01). Conclusions The general anesthesia effects of propofol and ketamine may be related to the inhibition of Na+, K+-ATPase activity of brain synaptosomes in rats.
