Abstract
Fluxes of 36Cl- across freshly prepared Deiters' neuronal membranes have been studied in a two-compartment microchamber simulating the extra- and the intracellular space. The rate of 36Cl- influx was enhanced by gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) (10(-4) M), the effect being reversed by picrotoxin (10(-4) M) and by bicuculline (10(-5) M). Diazepam (10(-8)-10(-7) M) did not potentiate the response to GABA and rather depressed it. However, a barbiturate site is most probably present in the GABA receptor complexes since pentobarbitone (10(-4) M) was able to stimulate 36Cl- permeability to the same extent as GABA itself.Entities:
