Facilitation and delayed release at single frog neuromuscular junctions.
Facilitation and delayed spontaneous release were recorded from neuromuscular junctions at 2 temperatures. In some experiments, Sr2+ substituted for Ca2+. We measured the ratio of delayed release to resting spontaneous release (D), and the ratio of the second end-plate potential amplitude to the first (F). An extension of the model of Barton et al. (1983) relating Ca2+ to evoked and spontaneous...
متن کاملAugmentation and facilitation of transmitter release. A quantitative description at the frog neuromuscular junction
Endplate potentials were recorded from frog and toad sartorius neuromuscular junctions under conditions of greatly reduced quantal contents. The magnitudes of augmentation increased with the duration and frequency of stimulation, often increasing at an accelerating rate during 10-20-s conditioning trains. The magnitudes of the first and second components of facilitation also increased, but reac...
متن کاملA new sea urchin toxin and its effect on spontaneous transmitter release at frog neuromuscular junctions.
The authors extracted a dialyzable substance from sea urchin (Diadematidae) collected in Fiji, and investigated its effect on the frequency of miniature endplate potentials (MEPPs) in the sartorius muscle of the frog. This substance was shown to be different from previously known biologically active substances in many respects. The increase of MEPP frequency by the application of toxin was sign...
متن کاملFacilitation and delayed release at about 0 degree C at the frog neuromuscular junction: effects of calcium chelators, calcium transport inhibitors, and okadaic acid.
1. We studied two-pulse facilitation and delayed release at 0 degree C, because at low temperature facilitation is enhanced and extended whereas delayed release is increased. Our major goal was to test, by a number of approaches, the residual Ca2+ hypothesis of facilitation and delayed release. 2. As we increased the interval between pulses from 30 to 100-200 ms facilitation declined steeply. A...
متن کاملSynaptic vesicle distribution and release at rat diaphragm neuromuscular junctions.
Synaptic vesicle release at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is highly reliable and is vital to the success of synaptic transmission. We examined synaptic vesicle number, distribution, and release at individual type-identified rat diaphragm NMJ. Three-dimensional reconstructions of electron microscopy images were used to obtain novel measurements of active zone distribution and the number of do...
