摘要: Electrophysiological responses to the glutamate analog N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) measured in three different central neuronal preparations are subject a novel modulatory mechanism: they substantially potentiated after exposure disulfide reducing agent dithiothreitol, while oxidation with 5-5-dithiobis-2-nitrobenzoic acid decreases magnitude of response. Modification NMDA response by either or reduction does not appear affect pharmacological properties receptor-channel complex. Since we observe that redox state native complex varies widely among neurons, an vivo mechanism can strongly regulate NMDA-activated functions may exist. In addition, these results suggest it be possible design specific agents for characterizing
