چکیده

We assessed the contribution of GABAa and GABAc receptors to GABAergic effects on b- and d-wave in frog ERG in a wide range of light stimulation conditions. The amplitude of both b- and d-wave was increased during GABAa receptor blockade by bicuculline as well as during additional GABAc receptor blockade by picrotoxin. The effects of GABAa receptor blockade were more pronounced in light adaptation conditions. They strongly depended on stimulus intensity and showed considerable ON/OFF-response asymmetry. The effects of GABAc receptor blockade were more pronounced in dark adaptation conditions. They didn't vary much with stimulus intensity and showed little ON/OFF-response asymmetry.

Effects of dopamine D1 receptor blockade on the intensity-response function of ERG b- and d-waves under different conditions of light adaptation

The effect of dopamine D(1) receptor blockade by SCH 23390 on the V-logI function of the ERG b- and d-waves was investigated in dark and light adapted frog eyes. We obtained that the blocker enhanced the amplitude of the b- and d-waves in both conditions of adaptation. The enhancing effect of the blocker was more pronounced on the rod- than cone-dominated responses for the both ERG waves. The a...

Contribution of GABAa, GABAc and glycine receptors to rat dark-adapted oscillatory potentials in the time and frequency domain

Retinal oscillatory potentials (OPs) consist of a series of relatively high-frequency rhythmic wavelets, superimposed onto the ascending phase of the b-wave of the electroretinogram (ERG). However, the origin of OPs is uncertain and methods of measurement of OPs are diverse. In this study, we first isolated OPs from the rat ERG and fitted them with Gabor functions and found that the envelope of...

Effects of Histamine on the Intensity-Response Function of the Electroretinographic b- and d-Waves in Dark Adapted Frog Eyes

It is known that histamine is neurotransmitter of the retinopetal axons that originate from the tuberomamillary nucleus of the posterior hypothalamus, but its role in visual information processing in the retina is not well understood. The aim of this study was to give insight into the significance that histamine has for the distal retina function revealed by electroretinogram (ERG). The effect ...

Effects of dopamine receptor blockade on the intensity-response function of ERG b- and d-waves in dark adapted eyes

The effects of dopamine receptor blockade by sulpiride (D2-class antagonist) and sulpiride plus SCH 23390 (D1-class antagonist) on the V - log I function of the ERG b- and d-waves were investigated in dark adapted frog eyes. We observed that sulpiride enhanced the amplitude of the suprathreshold b- and d-waves in the lower intensity range, where the responses were mediated by rods, but diminish...

In the present study, the effects of intracuneiformis nucleus microinjection of gamma-aminobutyric acidA (GABAA) receptor agonist and antagonist on antinociception inducced by morphine were investigated with formalin test in rat. Intracuneiformis nucleus microinjection of morphine (10µgr/rat) and Bicuculline (50, 100 ng/rat) induced antinociception in the both first and second phases of formali...
