ABSTRACT

Objetive: aspartyl aminopeptidase (AspAP) and glutamyl aminopeptidase (GluAP), named together as aminopeptidase A (APA), exert angiotensinase activity due to its interaction to the metabolism of angiotensins in the regional brain renin-angiotensin system (bRAS). Due to ethanol (EtOH) is a drug of abuse that alters several important neurotransmitter/neuromodulatory systems, inducing a variety of neurological damages, the aim of this work is to study the APA activity Under chronic ethanol intake (15%; 30 days). Material y methods: the APA activity was determined in synaptosomes obtained from the frontal cortex of Mouse using aspartate- and glutamate naphthylamide as substrates, on basal and K+-stimulated conditions, in a Ca2+-containing or Ca2+-free artificial cerebrospinal fluid (aCSF). Results: EtOH inhibits APA activity in K+-stimulated conditions in a Ca2+-containing or Ca2+-free aCSF on basal conditions. Depolarization increases levels of APA activity. Conclusions: the results show changes on angiotensinase activity on frontal cortex synaptosomes under chronic EtOH intake. These changes would be related to modifications on the metabolism of bRAS and it could be afirmed that EtOH enhances the effects on cerebral fluids and electrolites homeostasis.
