... chlorisondamine locust muscle Although detailed information is available on the kinetics of drug-modified acetylcholine-activated ionic channels ( Lambert, Durant & Henderson, 1983 ), comparable information is lacking for non-cholinergic channels such as those activated by excitatory amino acids...

... of trimetaphan, although at some junctional sites a mixture of biphasic and apparently monophasic EPSC decays was seen. It is concluded that trimetaphan exerts more than one effect on locust muscle glutamate receptors. It is likely that it enhances desensitization and also blocks the receptor channel when...

...C. J. Kerry; R. L. Ramsey; M. S. P. Sansom; P. N. R. Usherwood; H. Washio ABSTRACT The effects of ( + )-tubocurarine (TC) on single glutamate-activated channels in voltage-clamped locust muscle fibres have been examined using the patch-clamp technique. Glutamate alone produced a concentration...
