Abstract

The effects of thyroidectomy (Tx) and subsequent treatment with 3,5,3′-triiodothyronine (T3) or combined replacement therapy (TR) with T3 and thyroxine (T4) on the substrate and temperature kinetics properties of Na+,K+-ATPase and lipid/phospholipid makeup of rat kidney microsomes were examined. Enzyme activity was somewhat high in the hypothyroid (Tx) animals and increased significantly following T3 treatment, while TR treatment caused a decrease. In the Tx and T3 groups enzyme activity resolved in two kinetic components, while in the TR group the enzyme showed allosteric behavior up to 0.5 mm ATP concentration. The K m and V max values of both the components decreased in Tx animals without affecting the catalytic efficiency. T3 treatment caused a significant increase in the V max of both the components, with a significant increase in the catalytic efficiency, while the K m values were not upregulated. The TR regimen lowered the K m and V max of component II but improved the catalytic efficiency. Thyroid status-dependent changes were also noted in the temperature kinetics of the enzyme. Regression analysis revealed that changes in the substrate and temperature kinetics parameters correlated with specific phospholipid components.
