摘要
Abstract: Despite having no effect on basal phosphoinositide hydrolysis, N‐methyl‐d‐aspartate (NMDA) inhibited carbachol‐stimulated accumulation of 3H‐inositol phosphates and enhanced that due to noradrenaline in guinea‐pig cerebral cortex slices. The glycine antagonist 7‐chlorokynurenic acid inhibited the effects of NMDA and this inhibition was reversed by glycine. The action of 7‐chlorokynurenic acid was not mimicked by strychnine or HA 966 (l‐hydroxy‐3‐aminopyrrolid‐2‐one). l‐Glutamate also inhibited carbacholstimulated accumulation of 3H‐inositol phosphates, but this inhibition was not blocked by 7‐chlorokynurenic acid. The data are consistent with glycine maintaining tonic control over NMDA receptor activity in guinea‐pig brain. Copyright © 1990, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserved
