  • Title: [Zinc ions: an endogenous neuromodulator].
    Author: Luo DG, Yang XL.
    Journal: Sheng Li Ke Xue Jin Zhan; 2001 Jul; 32(3):204-8. PubMed ID: 12545790.
    Abstract:
    Zinc ions are widely distributed in the central nervous system. Zinc ions are released from neurons in a calcium-dependent manner. In recent years abundant evidence indicates that zinc ions modulate not only the release of transmitters, but also the voltage- and ligand (excitatory and inhibitory amino acids)-gated channels, suggesting that these ions may serve as an important endogenous neuromodulator.
