Description:
Samples of minced mouse forebrain were treated in a way that resulted in a high ratio of false cholinergic transmitter (acetylhomocholine) to true transmitter (acetylcholine) in a synaptic vesicle fraction, and a low ratio of false to true transmitter in the nerve terminal cytoplasm. The spontaneous release of cholinergic transmitters from this minced tissue occurred independently of calcium and had a ratio of false to true transmitter similar to that of the cytoplasm, whereas the evoked transmitter release required calcium and had a ratio of false to true transmitter similar to that of the vesicular fraction.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Carroll, P T -- Aspry, J M -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1980 Nov 7;210(4470):641-2.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7433989" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
