title: Key role of acetyl-CoA in cytoplasm of nerve terminals in disturbances of acetylcholine metabolism in brain.
abstract: This paper review data indicating that the concentration of acetyl-CoA in cytoplasm of cholinergic terminals is an important factor which may determine the rate and size of quantal acetylcholine in different physiologic and pathologic conditions.
