摘要: Whole-cell recordings from rat midbrain slices showed that bath application of taurine (30 microM-10 mM) reversibly hyperpolarized and inhibited the firing substantia nigra pars reticulata neurons. These effects were mediated by an increase in membrane chloride conductance. Taurine cross-desensitized with GABA glycine. Strychnine competitively antagonized actions glycine but not GABA. On other hand, responses to sensitive bicuculline. findings suggest inhibits SNR neurons opening glycine-linked channels.
