Zn2+ at the concentration of 10 microM inhibited the depolarization-induced [3H]glutamate release from the preloaded rat hippocampal slices both in the presence and absence of Ca2+ without affecting [3H]GABA and [3H]ACh release. Of divalent cations tested, Zn2+ and Fe2+ had an inhibitory effect on the release of glutamate.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
