Data provided by the National Library of Medicine- Nitric oxide synthase inhibitor decreases NMDA-induced elevations of extracellular glutamate and intracellular Ca2+ levels via a cGMP-independent mechanism in cerebellar granule neurons.
- Synergistic effect between intrathecal non-NMDA antagonist and gabapentin on allodynia induced by spinal nerve ligation in rats.
- Bupivacaine suppresses [Ca(2+)](i) oscillations in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes with increased extracellular K+ and is reversed with increased extracellular Mg(2+).
- Selective effects of cyanide (100 microM) on the excitatory amino acid-induced elevation of intracellular calcium levels in neuronal culture.
- Cyanide selectively augments kainate- but not NMDA-induced release of glutamate and taurine.
- Amitriptyline, desipramine, cyproheptadine and carbamazepine, in concentrations used therapeutically, reduce kainate- and N-methyl-D-aspartate-induced intracellular Ca2+ levels in neuronal culture.
- Amitriptyline prevents N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-induced toxicity, does not prevent NMDA-induced elevations of extracellular glutamate, but augments kainate-induced elevations of glutamate.
- Effects of L-trans-pyrrolidine-2,4-dicarboxylate, a glutamate uptake inhibitor,
- Low calcium-induced release of glutamate results in autotoxicity of cerebellar granule cells.
- Increased response of cerebellar cGMP to kainate but not NMDA or quisqualate following barbital withdrawal from dependent rats.
- 2-Amino-7-phosphonoheptanoic acid, a selective antagonist of N-methyl-D-aspartate, prevents barbital withdrawal-induced convulsions and the elevation of cerebellar cyclic GMP in dependent rats.
- Cultured cerebellar cells as an in vitro model of excitatory amino acid receptor function.
- Quisqualate, high calcium concentration and zero-chloride prevent kainate-induced toxicity of cerebellar granule cells.
- Continuously infused 2-amino-7-phosphonoheptanoic acid antagonizes N-methyl-D-aspartate-induced elevations of cyclic GMP in vivo in multiple brain areas and chemically-induced seizure activity.
- Correlation between pentobarbital suppressed cerebellar cyclic GMP and performance of a swimming task.
