## Abstract In the hippocampus, synaptic depression of potentiated synapses in the form of depotentiation, or of naive synapses in the form of longโterm depression (LTD) is mediated by distinct molecular mechanisms. Activation of group 1 metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) is critically requi

Estradiol attenuates the ATP-induced increase of intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) in rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons by blocking the L-type voltage gated calcium channel (VGCC). Because ATP is a putative nociceptive signal, this action may indicate a site of estradiol regulat
While it is well documented that the overactivation of ionotropic glutamate receptors leads to seizures and excitotoxic injury, little is known about the role of metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) in epileptogenesis and neuronal injury.

## Abstract Pregnant Wistar rats were orally treated with the adenosine receptor agonist Rโphenylisopropyladenosine (RโPIA) throughout the gestational period, and the status of the metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptor/phospholipase C transduction pathway from maternal and fetal brain was analyzed
We have reported that arachidonic acid and the metabotropic glutamate receptor agonist, trans-1-amino-cyclopentyl-1,3-dicarboxylate (ACPD), act in synergy to increase release of glutamate from synaptosomes prepared from rat dentate gyrus. The observation that prior induction of LTP in perforant path
