摘要
The lack of association in vivo between AChE (acetyl cholinesterase) inhibition and antagonism by bicuculline methochloride of the effects on a cholinoceptive neuron of GABA was demonstrated. Renshaw cell (cat) firing, maintained with electrophoretic DL-homocysteic acid (DLH) was readily inhibited by glycine and GABA, and the effect of GABA was reversibly blocked by bicuculline methochloride. Physostigmine salicylate i.v. produced marked enhancement of the excitatory action of ACh, and prolongation of the synaptic response of the cell by a ventral root volley.
