Neuromuscular transmission modulation by adenosine upon aging.
In infant rats adenosine A(2A) receptor-mediated modulation of neuromuscular transmission predominates over A1 receptor-mediated neuromodulation. We investigated whether aging affects this A(2A)/A(1) receptor balance. Evoked (EPPs) and miniature end plate potentials (MEPPs) were recorded from single fibers of (weeks-old) infant (3-4), young adult (12-16), older (36-38), and aged (80-90) male ra...
متن کاملModulation of cholinergic neuromuscular transmission by nitric oxide in canine colonic circular smooth muscle.
This study examines the effect of nitric oxide (NO) on cholinergic transmission in strips of canine colonic circular muscle in which neural plexus-pacemaker regions had been removed. Electrical field stimulation gave rise to atropine- and TTX-sensitive excitatory junction potentials (EJPs), the amplitude of which were frequency dependent. In 47% of control muscles, the EJP was followed by an in...
متن کاملEffect of adenosine on atrioventricular conduction. II: Modulation of atrioventricular node transmission by adenosine in hypoxic isolated guinea pig hearts.
Adenosine as well as hypoxia and ischemia are known to cause atrioventricular conduction block. To test the hypothesis that adenosine is the primary mediator of hypoxia-induced atrioventricular conduction delay in isolated perfused guinea pig hearts, we characterized a) the time courses of hypoxia-induced adenosine release and delay in atrioventricular conduction, b) the relationships between o...
متن کاملNon-additive modulation of synaptic transmission by serotonin, adenosine, and cholinergic modulators in the sensory thalamus
The thalamus relays sensory information to the cortex. Oscillatory activities of the thalamocortical network are modulated by monoamines, acetylcholine, and adenosine, and could be the key features characteristic of different vigilance states. Although the thalamus is almost always subject to the actions of more than just one neuromodulators, reports on the modulatory effect of coexisting neuro...
متن کاملModulation of excitatory synaptic transmission by adenosine released from single hippocampal pyramidal neurons.
Adenosine is a potent neuromodulator in the CNS, but the mechanisms that regulate adenosine concentrations in the extracellular space remain unclear. The present study demonstrates that increasing the intracellular concentration of adenosine in a single hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neuron selectively inhibits the excitatory postsynaptic potentials in that cell. Loading neurons with high concentrat...
