Prejunctional nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) amplify postganglionic sympathetic neurotransmission, and there are indications that intraterminal Ca(2+) stores might be involved. However, the mechanisms by which nAChR activation stimulates

Patch-clamp experiments were performed to investigate the molecular properties of resurgent-like currents in single smooth muscle cells dispersed from mouse vas deferens, utilizing both Na(V)1.6-null mice (Na(V)1.6(-/-)), lacking the expression of th

Background and purpose: The effects of veratridine, an alkaloid found in Liliaceae plants, on tetrodotoxin (TTX)-sensitive voltage-gated Na+ channels were investigated in mouse vas deferens. Experimental approach: Effects of veratridine on TTX-sensit

Background and purpose: Nicotinic agonists increase sympathetic field-stimulus-evoked contraction of the rodent vas deferens, presumably by increasing evoked neurotransmitter release. This presumption was tested in two species. Experimental approach:

The detection of focal Ca(2+) transients (called neuroeffector Ca(2+) transients, or NCTs) in smooth muscle of the mouse isolated vas deferens has been used to detect the packeted release of ATP from nerve terminal varicosities acting at postjunction

A confocal Ca2+ imaging technique has been used to detect ATP release from individual sympathetic varicosities on the same nerve terminal branch. Varicose nerve terminals and smooth muscle cells in mouse vas deferens were loaded with the Ca2+ indicat

The effects of endothelin-1 (ET-1) on guinea-pig lower oesophageal sphincter (LOS) circular smooth muscle were investigated by using intracellular microelectrodes and isometric tension recording techniques. ET-1 produced biphasic mechanical responses

While nicotine is known to act at neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) to facilitate neurotransmitter release, the mechanisms underlying this action are poorly understood. Some of its effects are known to be mediated by presynaptic rec

The effects of Ca2+ concentration and Ca2+ channel blockers on noradrenaline (NA) and adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) release from postganglionic sympathetic nerves have been investigated in rat tail arteries in vitro. Intracellularly recorded exci

The effects of prejunctional β-adrenoceptor activation on electrically evoked noradrenaline (NA) and adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) were studied by use of continuous amperometry and conventional intracellular recording techniques. Excitatory junc
