Abstract

The increased levels of NAD(P)H effected by electrical depolarization are markedly augmented in the presence of cyclic AMP, isoproterenol, or RO 20-1724, agents known to elevate cyclic AMP in rat brain slices. The data presented indicate that the cyclic AMP effect on an important component of intermediate metabolism is not an enhancement of a basal response but a separate response that is activated by depolarization, is Ca2+-dependent, regulates cytochrome a-a3 independently of its effects on NAD(P)H levels, and is dependent on a substrate other than glucose.
