  • Title: [The interaction between glycine and GABA postsynaptic effects in the spinal cord neurons of frog Rana temporaria].
    Author: Tsvetkov EA, Veselkin NP.
    Journal: Ross Fiziol Zh Im I M Sechenova; 2007 Jul; 93(7):735-45. PubMed ID: 17912847.
    Abstract:
    Patch-clamp study in the whole multipolar cell (presumably motoneuron) was performed, the cells having been mechanically isolated from the spinal cord of the frog Rana ridibunda. It was shown that GABA and glycine, when applied simultaneously, produced a transmembrane current. Its amplitude was lower than the summed amplitude of currents produced in the same neuron by separate applications of GABA and glycine. The investigation of this occlusion showed that the superfusion of the neurons with solution containing 0.2 mM of glycine totally blocked the responses to GABA (5 mM) application, and vice versa. The crossinhibition can lie in the basis of this phenomenon. It could be due to either the existence of a common receptor complex sensitive to both GABA and glycine or to interaction between GABA and glycine receptors.
