Abstract
The actions on amphibian embryos of UV-irradiation, exposure to Li+ or exposure to ouabain show interesting parallels with their effects on spontaneous release at the presynaptic terminals of the neuromuscular junction. It is suggested that these treatments serve to raise intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) in these examples, and that UV-promoted abnormalities in embryogenesis are a consequence of changes in [Ca2+]i at critical stages in development.Entities:
