Description:
Incubation of minced mouse-forebrain tissues in lithium Krebs solution reduces the acetylcholine content of the vesicular fraction 70 percent without altering that of the cytoplasmic fraction. Depleted vesicular-bound acetylcholine can be restored with newly synthesized acetylcholine (formed from extracellular choline) independently of the cytoplasmic pool. Depletion of vesicular-bound acetylcholine does not facilitate the movement of preformed extracellular acetylcholine into vesicles.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Carrol, P T -- Nelson, S H -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1978 Jan 6;199(4324):85-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, University of Rhode Island, Kingston, RI 02881, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17569492" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
