摘要
The local application of cobalt reversibly blocks calcium-channel conductance and therefore synaptic transmission. In this study pretreatment with a solution of cobalt (100 mM) in the nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS) of anaesthetized rats significantly blocked the apnea (P < 0.01) and arterial hypotension induced by L-glutamate (25 mM) and N-methyl-D-aspartate (0.4 mM) microinjected in the NTS. We conclude that cobalt causes these effects by acting at the postsynaptic level.
