“The release was completely blocked by nicotinic antagonists hexamethonium (100 μmol/l) and mecamylamine (10 μmol/l), and decreased by tetrodotoxin (0.3 μmol/l) and ω-conotoxin (0.1 μmol/l) to 17% and 27%, resp.”
“2 [3H]‐NA release in response to high concentrations of nicotinic agonists was reduced, but not fully inhibited, by the presence of either tetrodotoxin ( TTX ) or Cd2+ to block voltage‐gated Na+ or Ca2+ channels, respectively.”
“Carbachol and other nicotinic agonists produced marked increases in the frequency of the glutamatergic spontaneous PSCs in the presence of tetrodotoxin , whereas they had little or no effect on current amplitude.”
“The nicotinic agonist-induced enhancement in inhibitory postsynaptic current frequency is blocked by 1.0 microM tetrodotoxin , demonstrating that the effect is mediated through the activation of voltage-dependent sodium channels.”
“Since tetrodotoxin (1 microM) completely antagonized the effect of nicotinic agonists, the site of action of the nicotinic agonists studied was on the somatodendritic nicotinic receptors.”
