The effects of ethanol on muscarinic receptor-mediated calcium responses were investigated in individual primary rat astrocytes and human 132 1N1 astrocytoma cells using indo-1/AM and image cytometry. After a 30-min incubation, carbachol-induced calcium responses were inhibited only at 100 or 250 mM

GFAP(Ο©) cells were acutely isolated from the hippocampi of 1-10 day old rats, and the intracellular calcium responses to L-glutamate, ATP, and 5-HT were studied in single cells. Eighty-two percent of such cells responded to glutamate, 20% of them responded to ATP, and none responded to 5-HT. The sam
## Background: Cation channels that respond to mechanical stress have been described in neuronal and nonneuronal cells. these nonselective cation ([c+(sa)]) channels are believed to regulate volume and osmolarity of cells in the central nervous system and are therefore believed to be involved in br
Previously, by using in vivo microdialysis, we demonstrated a huge release of 45Ca2+ from prelabeled tissues to dialysate that was evoked by application of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) to the rat dentate gyrus (DG) and sector 4 of the cornu ammonis. To establish the mechanism of this phenomenon, in t
We studied the ionic currents activated by basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) in cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAE-1) by using patch-clamp and single-cell fluorimetric calcium measurements. In whole-cell, voltage-clamp experiments at V h Ο Οͺ50
Chronic dopaminomimetic administration to parkinsonian animal models or Parkinson's disease patients leads to characteristic alteration in motor response. Previous studies suggested that the nonphysiologic stimulation of dopaminergic receptors on striatal medium spiny neurons enhances the synaptic e
