title: Tetanus toxin does not affect the release of noradrenaline and taurine from rat cerebral cortex slices evoked by high K+ and Na+-free media.
abstract: Noradrenaline and taurine release from superfused rat cerebral cortex slices was stimulated by potassium ions, veratrine, ouabain and omission of sodium ions. Tetanus toxin enhanced only the ouabain-evoked calcium-dependent noradrenaline release and the ouabain-evoked calcium-independent taurine release. The uptake of both was marginally affected.
