## Abstract A channel open on the membrane can be formed by palytoxin (PTX). Ten nanomolar PTX caused an irreversible increase in the cytosolic calcium concentration ([Ca^2+^]~c~), which was abolished in the absence of external calcium. The increase was eliminated by saxitoxin (STX) and nifedipine
The effect of nicotine on basal and electrically evoked (20 Hz for 20 sec) [(3)H]D-aspartate efflux (assumed as an index of transmitter release) was studied in rat cerebellar granule primary cultures. Nicotine (10-100 nM) increased the basal efflux two to three times and concentration-dependently en
The properties of [3H]glycine uptake and release were studied with cerebellar granule cells, 7-9 days in vitro, (DIV) and astrocytes, 14-15 DIV, in primary cultures. The uptake of glycine in both cell types consisted of a saturable high-affinity transport and nonsaturable diffusion. The transport co
