Abstract:
The activities of cytosolic NADP-linked and mitochondrial NADP- and NAD-linked isocitrate dehydrogenases were examined in three-week-old mouse astroglial cultures. The respective activities were found to be 57 +/- 7, 101 +/- 3 and 8 +/- 1 nmoles NAD(P)+ reduced per mg protein per min. Both dibutyryl cyclic AMP and cortisol caused a significant increase in the activity of the mitochondrial as well as cytosolic NADP-linked isozymes.
