To investigate the mechanisms by which lipopolysaccharide (LPS) affects Ca2+ signaling systems, we studied the effects of LPS on the serotonin (5-HT)- or thrombin-induced intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) increase in rat C6 glioma cells. Pretreatment of the cells with 1 microg/ml LPS for 24 hr significan
We studied the effects of endotoxin from Escherichiu coli (E. coli) on Ca2+ channel activity in PC12 cells using the cell-attached patch clamp technique. Endotoxin (1-100 nglml) decreased channel availability (n -Po) to about one third of control values, an effect that required 3.5 & 1 min (mean & S
## Abstract Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) are persistent environmental contaminants whose chronic exposure can affect nervous system development and function. The cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying neuronal damage are not yet clear. In the present study, we investigated whether nitric o
