title: [Relation between temperature and processes of spontaneous quantum and non-quantum mediator release from motor nerve endings of the mouse].
abstract: The spontaneous quantal and nonquantal acetylcholine release was investigated at the temperature range from 10 to 35 degrees C in white mouse semidiaphragm. The quantal release was evaluated by calculation of miniature end-plate potentials frequency, while the nonquantal one--from the H-effect value. The spontaneous quantal release increased exponentially with the temperature growth. The temperature dependence of the nonquantal release showed two relative maxima: at 20 degrees and 35 degrees C. At 10 degrees C the nonquantal release was absent. The value of calculated effective energy of activation of the quantal release was 57.0 kJ/mol in the investigated temperature range. The effective energy of activation for the nonquantal release process in intervals 15-20 degrees C and 25-35 degrees C was 45.5 and 38.2 kJ/mol, relatively. It is suggested that the nonquantal release is rather due to active transport processes than to simple diffusion of acetylcholine molecules.
