title: [Regulation of posttetanic increase in choline sensitivity in Helix neurons by Na,K-pump: the role of Na/Ca-exchange and of mobilized calcium].
abstract: We studied the role of Na/Ca-exchange and intracellular mobilized calcium in ouabain-mediated suppression of potentiation of cholinosensitivity of somatic membrane in Helix LPa3 and RPa3 command neurons of defensive behaviour after electrical orthodromic tetanisation of n. intestinalis. Cholinosensitivity of neurons was assessed by the amplitude of the inward current evoked by acetylcholine. Inhibitor of a Na/Ca-exchange benzamil and specific inhibitor of Ca-ATPase in endoplasmic reticulum thapsigargin prevented the development of the posttetanic potentiation (PTP). PTP did not arise and at joint action of ouabain with benzamil or thapsigargin. It was concluded that Na/Ca-exchange and mobilized calcium are involved in development of PTP of cholinosensitivity in somatic neuronal membrane and its regulation by Na,K-pump.
