Em. Khvatova et al., EFFECTS OF DELTA-SLEEP-INDUCING PEPTIDE (DSIP) AND SOME ANALOGS ON THE ACTIVITY OF MONOAMINE-OXIDASE TYPE-A IN RAT-BRAIN UNDER HYPOXIA STRESS, FEBS letters, 368(2), 1995, pp. 367-369
Metabolic effects of delta-sleep inducing peptide (DSIP) under hypoxia
stress were investigated in rats subjected to short-term hypoxic cond
itions (about 0.26 Bar). It was found that DSIP partially restricted s
tress-induced changes in activity of mitochondrial monoamine oxidase t
ype A (MAO-A) and serotonin level in rat brain, A number of DSIP analo
gues was tested and among them there were some compounds with enhanced
ability to counteract hypoxia induced changes in MAO-A activity and s
erotonin content in comparison with native neuropeptide.
