Abstract

The effect of omega-conotoxin GVIA (omega-CgTx) was studied on spontaneous, K(+)-induced and electrically evoked neurotransmitter release at the neuromuscular junction of mouse diaphragm. omega-CgTx decreased the frequency and amplitude of basal and K(+)-induced miniature end plate potentials. This effect was abolished by raising the extracellular Ca2+ concentration. omega-CgTx had no effect on the quantal content of the electrically evoked release in this preparation.
