abstract：:Inhibition of calcium-evoked [3H]ACh release by different classes of calcium channel blockers was compared among calcium-naive synaptosomes from chick, frog and rat forebrain tissues. In all three species, [3H]ACh release was insensitive to nifedipine (0.03-3 microM) but was completely inhibited by cadmium (IC50 range...
