Kainate-, quisqualate-and glutamate-induced depolarization and mobilization of intracellular Ca2+ was determined in primary cultured astrocytes using the fluorescent probes DiBa-C,-(3) and fura-2, respectively. All three receptor agonists depolarized the cells in a Na+-dependent manner and increased

Earlier studies have demonstrated that a high (mM) extracellular CaL+ concentration triggers intracellular [Ca"] signals with a consequent inhibition of bone resorptive activity. We now report that micromolar concentrations of the divalent cation, Ni'+, elicited rapid and concentration-dependent ele
We investigated the role of kainate (KA) receptor activation and desensitization in inducing the increase in the intracellular free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) in individual cultured rat hippocampal neurons. The rat hippocampal neurons in the cultures were shown to express kainate receptor su
The effect of Ca 2Ο© -binding protein regucalcin on Ca 2Ο© -ATPase activity in isolated rat liver mitochondria was investigated. The presence of regucalcin (0.1, 0.25, and 0.5 M) in the enzyme reaction mixture led to a significant increase in Ca 2Ο© -ATPase activity. Regucalcin significantly stimulated
## Abstract Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) of the hippocampus have been thought to contribute to cognitive enhancement by cigarette smoking. Although positive modulation on cognitive functions is linked to the smoked, lowβdose nicotine, the cellular correlate behind this modulation is u
The effect of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) on Ca2+-ATPase activity in rat h e r nuclei was investigated. Ca2 +-ATPase activity was calculated by subtracting Mg2+ -ATPase activity from (Ca2 +-Mg2 +)-ATPase activity. The nuclear Ca2+-ATPase activity was significantly increased by the presence
