Effects of acetylcholine on sodium-dependent high-affinity glutamate transport in rat striatal homogenates. 1983

L Kerkerian, and A Nieoullon

Incubation of rat striatal tissue in the presence of acetylcholine, carbachol, oxotremorine, or nicotine results in a significant decrease in the sodium-dependent high-affinity glutamate uptake (HAGU). The cholinergic inhibitory effect on glutamate transport is no more detectable in the presence of atropine, a cholinergic receptor antagonist. These data support the hypothesis that glutamatergic nerve ending activity in the striatum is modulated by cholinergic neurons. The effects would involve both muscarinic and nicotinic presynaptic receptors located on the corticostriatal glutamatergic terminals.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008297 Male Males
D009538 Nicotine Nicotine is highly toxic alkaloid. It is the prototypical agonist at nicotinic cholinergic receptors where it dramatically stimulates neurons and ultimately blocks synaptic transmission. Nicotine is also important medically because of its presence in tobacco smoke. Nicotine Bitartrate,Nicotine Tartrate
D010095 Oxotremorine A non-hydrolyzed muscarinic agonist used as a research tool. Oxytremorine

D003342 Corpus Striatum Striped GRAY MATTER and WHITE MATTER consisting of the NEOSTRIATUM and paleostriatum (GLOBUS PALLIDUS). It is located in front of and lateral to the THALAMUS in each cerebral hemisphere. The gray substance is made up of the CAUDATE NUCLEUS and the lentiform nucleus (the latter consisting of the GLOBUS PALLIDUS and PUTAMEN). The WHITE MATTER is the INTERNAL CAPSULE.
