Abstract
Depolarizing stimuli increase the release of neurotransmitter met-enkephalin from rat striatal slices. Bay K8644, a calcium agonist, significantly enhances the submaximal release of this peptide. Several organic calcium antagonists, including nimodipine, nifedipine, nicardipine, gallopamil and flunarizine, are able to inhibit the potassium-evoked met-enkephalin release both in vitro and ex vivo. The data suggest that the release of this neuropeptide is modulated by calcium antagonist-sensitive calcium channels.Entities:
