(6) However, higher doses of diltiazem (60 microM) reduced the tritium overflow elicited by RNS or Vt but enhanced that caused by KCl.
(7) The alpha 2-adrenoceptor agonist clonidine inhibited, whereas the alpha 2-adrenoceptor antagonist rauwolscine facilitated the stimulated overflow of [3H]NA.
(8) In contrast, in synaptosomes superfused with Ca(2+)-free Krebs-Henseleit solution containing 15 mM K+ throughout, ethanol did not affect the tritium overflow evoked by 2 min introduction of 75 microM Ca2+ into the superfusion fluid.
