Potassium-induced release of enkephalins from rat striatal slices.

Abstract:

:The rate of release of enkephalin from rat striatal slices increased 7--10 fold in response to depolarization by 50 mM potassium ions in vitro. The potassium-evoked release of enkephalins was abolished in a calcium deficient medium. Uptake studies indicated that the potassium-stimulated efflux was not due to the inhibition of an active uptake mechanism for these peptides. These findings provide support for the view that enkephalins may function as neurotransmitters in brain.

  • Differential binding of antidepressants to noradrenaline and serotonin transport sites in central nerve endings.

    abstract::Imipramine and mianserin are equipotent inhibitors of noradrenaline (NA) uptake in synaptosomes. However, after in vivo administration, NA uptake was inhibited only in synaptosomes from imipramine-treated rats, suggesting that imipramine, or its metabolite desipramine, binds to the NA carrier in a manner outlasting th...
