Abstract excerpt
Nicotinic agonist-stimulated efflux of 86Rb+ from mouse brain synaptosomes was monitored continuously by on-line radioactivity detection. The concentration-effect curve following a 5-s stimulation with acetylcholine was biphasic (EC50 = 7.2 and 550 microM). alpha-Bungarotoxin (100 nM) did not inhibit the response, but dihydro-beta-erythroidine (DHbetaE) blocked both phases with differing potency (average IC50...
