Abstract
After uncoupling G-protein dependent post-synaptic GABA(B) receptors--without altering GABA(B) nerve terminal receptors--we demonstrate that the GABA(B) agonist, CGP44533, exhibits less efficacy and potency at GABA(B) auto- versus hetero-receptors. CGP44533 (1 and 10 microM) depressed monosynaptic GABA(A)-mediated transmission by 2 and 35%, but depressed glutamate mediated transmission by 41 and 78%, respectively. These data suggest a differential pharmacological sensitivity for CGP44533 at glutamate versus GABA releasing neurons.Entities:
