Changes in transmitter release induced by ion-containing liposomes.
The changes in quantal transmitter release induced by egg phosphatidylcholine liposomes with different internal ionic composition were examined at the frog neuromuscular junction by using conventional electrophysiological techniques. It was found that liposomes containing calcium or sodium ions increase both evoked and spontaneous transmitter release, while liposomes containing potassium do not...
متن کاملEvaluation of infection course in mice induced by L. major in presence of positively charged liposomes containing CpG ODN
An inoculation of virulent Leishmania major is known as leishmanization (LZ) which is proven to be the most effective control measure against Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL). However, using LZ is restricted due to various side effects such as uncontrolled lesion development. In the present research, the efficacy of cationic nanoliposomes containing CpG oligodeoxynucleotides (CpG ODN) as an improve...
متن کاملModulation of transmitter release via presynaptic ligand-gated ion channels.
Neurons communicate through the exocytotic release of transmitters from presynaptic axon terminals and the ensuing activation of postsynaptic receptors. Instantaneous responses of postsynaptic cells to released neurotransmitters are mediated by ligand-gated ion channels, whereas G protein-coupled receptors mediate rather delayed effects. Moreover, the actions of ionotropic receptors are transie...
متن کاملChanges in the statistics of transmitter release during facilitation.
1. The statistical nature of transmitter release during facilitation was studied at single synaptic sites by recording extracellular excitatory junctional potentials from the claw opener muscle in crayfish.2. At low temperatures, single quanta could be counted in the responses to nerve impulses. The distribution of the number of quanta observed (x) was most accurately described by assuming that...
متن کاملA quantitative description of stimulation-induced changes in transmitter release at the frog neuromuscular junction
Endplate potentials were recorded from frog sartorius neuromuscular junctions under conditions of greatly reduced quantal contents to develop a quantitative description of stimulation-induced changes in transmitter release. Four general models relating potentiation, augmentation, and the first and second components of facilitation to transmitter release were developed. These models were then te...
