title: [Rapid effects of hydrocortisone on the cholinergic synaptic transmission of B neurons in bullfrog sympathetic ganglia].
abstract: Rapid effects of hydrocortisone 21-hemisuccinate (F-suc) on cholinergic synaptic transmission of B neurons in bullfrog sympathetic ganglia (BFSG) were studied with intracellular recording technique in vitro. The main results are as follows: (1) F-suc blocked cholinergic synaptic transmission of 52 B neurons within 0.5-3 min, which was concentration-dependent and partially suppressed by the cytoplasm receptor antagonist of steroid hormones, RU38486; (2) after protein synthesis was suppressed by actidione, the above effect persisted; and (3) the effect of F-suc could be potentiated by atropine. All these results suggest that the F-suc induced rapid effects of cholinergic synaptic transmission of B neurons in BFSG may be mediated by non-genomic mechanisms.
