Nifedipine-mediated mobilization of intracellular calcium stores increases spontaneous neurotransmitter release at neonatal rat motor nerve terminals
The modulation of spontaneous release of acetylcholine by specific Ca2+ channel blockers was studied at neonatal rat neuromuscular junction. During early postnatal periods (0-4 days), blockers of N- and P/Q-type Ca2+ channels did not affect miniature endplate potential (MEPP) frequency. Unexpectedly...
