The Time Profile of the Effects of Moderate Hypothermia on Synaptic Acetylcholinesterase in Rat Brain.

Hypothermia in homeotherms significantly affects the neurotransmitter systems of the brain, including the cholinergic system. The function of the brain cholinergic system during prolonged moderate hypothermia is not known yet. We studied the effects of moderate hypothermia of various durations on the activity and kinetic parameters of synaptic acetylcholinesterase in rat brain.
