Abstract

The effects of the sulphonylurea activators of ATP-sensitive potassium channels (K(+) ATP), cromakalim and pinacidil, on the evoked-release of endogenous glutamate from superfused slices of rat cerebellum was examined. K(+)-stimulated release was Ca(2+)-dependent, whereas tetrapentylammonium (TPeA)-...
