Desensitization of Mouse Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Channels
The rate constants of acetylcholine receptor channels (AChR) desensitization and recovery were estimated from the durations and frequencies of clusters of single-channel currents. Diliganded-open AChR desensitize much faster than either unliganded- or diliganded-closed AChR, which indicates that the desensitization rate constant depends on the status of the activation gate rather than the occup...
متن کاملNicotinic acetylcholine receptors in mouse and rat optic nerves.
Receptor-mediated calcium signaling in axons of mouse and rat optic nerves was examined by selectively staining the axonal population with a calcium indicator. Nicotine (1-50 microM) induced an axonal calcium elevation that was eliminated when calcium was removed from the bath, suggesting that nicotine induces calcium influx into axons. The nicotine response was blocked by d-tubocurarine and me...
متن کاملRegulation of lipid metabolism in rat leydig cells testosterone synthesis and proliferation
Aim: To induce rat model of hyperlipidemia through high fat diet feeding, exploring the effect of abnormal lipid metabolism in rat leydig cell testosterone biosynthesis and proliferation. Methods: 30 healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into normal group (NG) and the obese group (OG). Rats in NG were fed with basic diet, while rats in OG were continuously fed with high fat diet for 16 wee...
متن کاملGreen tea polyphenols inhibit testosterone production in rat Leydig cells.
This study investigated the acute effects of green tea extract (GTE) and its polyphenol constituents, (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) and (-)-epicatechin (EC), on basal and stimulated testosterone production by rat Leydig cells in vitro. Leydig cells purified in a Percoll gradient were incubated for 3 h with GTE, EGCG or EC and the testosterone precursor androstenedione, in the presence o...
متن کاملAcetylcholine triggers L-glutamate exocytosis via nicotinic receptors and inhibits melatonin synthesis in rat pinealocytes.
Rat pinealocytes, melatonin-secreting endocrine cells, contain peripheral glutaminergic systems. L-Glutamate is a negative regulator of melatonin synthesis through a metabotropic receptor-mediated inhibitory cAMP cascade. Previously, we reported that depolarization of pinealocytes by externally added KCl and activation of L-type Ca2+ channels resulted in secretion of L-glutamate by microvesicle...
