Nerve terminal currents induced by autoreception of acetylcholine release.
The activation of autoreceptors is known to be important in the modulation of presynaptic transmitter secretion in peripheral and central neurons. Using whole-cell recordings made from the free growth cone of myocyte-contact motoneurons of Xenopus cell cultures, we have observed spontaneous nerve terminal currents (NTCs). These spontaneous NTCs are blocked by d-tubocurarine (d-TC) and alpha-bun...

with urease. A third minor metabolite was present in urine collected after intraperitoneal administration but remains unidentified. The quantitative distribution of pterin-dcarboxylic acid and urea in the 0-24 h urine samples is shown in Table 1. Fukushima & Nixon (1980) reported the degradation of [2-14C]pterin-6-carboxylic acid to 14C02 by the gut microorganisms of the rat. It is possible tha...
متن کاملEosinophil-induced release of acetylcholine from differentiated cholinergic nerve cells.
One immunological component of asthma is believed to be the interaction of eosinophils with parasympathetic cholinergic nerves and a consequent inhibition of acetylcholine muscarinic M2 receptor activity, leading to enhanced acetylcholine release and bronchoconstriction. Here we have used an in vitro model of cholinergic nerve function, the human IMR32 cell line, to study this interaction. IMR3...
متن کاملCan barium support the release of acetylcholine by nerve impulses?
Conventional electrophysiological techniques were used to study the effects of Ba on the release of acetylcholine (ACh) from frog motor nerve terminals. Equimolar substitution of Ba for Ca eliminated end-plate potentials (e.p.ps) without a corresponding decline in the amplitude of the nerve terminal action potential. Miniature end-plate potentials (m.e.p.ps) were readily detectable in Ba soluti...
متن کاملMotor nerve terminal outgrowth and acetylcholine receptors: inhibition of terminal outgrowth by alpha-bungarotoxin and anti-acetylcholine receptor antibody.
Motor nerves undergo extensive terminal outgrowth when the muscles they supply are "functionally denervated." In this study, we have investigated the role of the acetylcholine receptors (AChRs), newly appearing in such muscles, in promoting nerve terminal outgrowth. The amount of outgrowth was determined by morphometric measurement of nerve terminal branching, endplate length, and ultraterminal...
