Modulation of potassium evoked secretory function in rat cerebellar slices measured by real time monitoring: evidence of a possible role for methylfolate in cerebral tissue.

Abstract:

:The real time dynamics of K+ evoked neurosecretion in cerebellar slices has been monitored electrochemically. In the presence of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate a statistically significant diminution in secretory response occurs. Agonists to probe the pharmacological basis for this indicate it is not due to voltage sensitive Ca2+ channel blockade, nor does it show any similarity of effect with kainate, whose receptor is a putative binding site for 5-methyltetrahydrofolate. The method is fully validated, although no account is taken of individual molecular species. High performance liquid chromatography combined with off line microbiological assay could only detect 5-methyltetrahydrofolate in cerebrospinal fluid. We therefore discuss our findings in relation to possible cerebral roles for cerebrospinal fluid 5-methyltetrahydrofolate in the context of both membrane and transmitter related interactions.

  • Rapid estradiol-17beta modulation of opioid actions on the electrical and secretory activity of rat oxytocin neurons in vivo.
