Abstract
The action of guanidine on presynaptic membrane currents has been investigated to elucidate its facilitatory effect on phasic transmitter release at the mouse neuromuscular junction. Guanidine (2-10 mM) produced a near complete inhibition of the fast voltage-dependent K current. This effect is expected to allow an increase in Ca2+ influx and, thereby, in transmitter release upon nerve stimulation. Guanidine failed to block the Ca-dependent K current of the nerve terminals.Entities:
