Mg2+-ATPase activity in suckling rat brain regions in galactosaemia in vitro. l-Cysteine and glutathione effects

Conclusions: (a) Gal-1-P enormously activated Mg2+-ATPase in all the studied brain regions, (b) Mix A, also, excessively activated the enzyme in the same areas, (c) the production of free radicals may be implicated with the enzyme activation and (d) Cys or GSH significantly decreased the activated hippocampal Mg2+-ATPase.
