title: [Effects of dantrolene and ryanodine on the evoked activity of neuromuscular synapses in mice].
abstract: Ryanodine was shown to potentiate in a frequency-dependent manner a late phase of initial facilitation increasing the EPP amplitude for 15%-40% in a fixed interval 140-400 ms after the first EPP in the discharge. Dantrolene prevented the ryanodine induced increase of the late phase of facilitation, decreased 2-fold the amplitude and quantum content of single EPPs, augmented initial depression, blocked facilitation in 50% of synapses. Only in presence of dantrolene, the ryanodine's ability to increase the EPPs quantum content and early phase of the EPP facilitation in rhythmically active synapses, was revealed.
