Effects of rivastigmine, selegiline, and (rivastigmine + selegiline) on brain (Na+, K+)-ATPase activity. (Na+, K+)-ATPase activities were determined in each homogenized rat whole brain. Values of the groups of aged control rats and of rivastigmine indicate the mean ± standard error (SE) of ten independent experiments (ten rats). Values of the groups of adult control rats, of selegiline and of rivastigmine + selegiline indicate the mean ± SE of eleven independent experiments (eleven rats). The average value of each experiment arises from three determinations.
Notes: ***P < 0.001 compared with aged control group; ###P < 0.001 compared with selegiline-treated group.
