Cyclic adenosine monophosphate and norepinephrine: effects on transmembrane properties of cerebellar Purkinje cells.

Electrical properties of Purkinje cells were recorded by intracellular microelectrode during extracellular electrophoretic application of gamma aminobutyrate, norepinephrine, cyclic adenosine monophosphate, and dibutyryl cyclic adenosine monophosphate. All these substances hyperpolarized Purkinje cells. Transmembrane resistance decreased during gamma aminobutyrate hyperpolarization. In contrast, norepinephrine and the cyclic nucleotides generally elevated resistance. These results show that cyclic nucleotides mimic the unique effects of norepinephrine on the bioelectric properties of neuronal membranes.

Prostaglandins E1 and E2 antagonize norepinephrine effects on cerebellar purkinje cells: microelectrophoretic study.

In microelectrophoretic experiments, prostaglandins E(1) and E(2) antagonize the reduction in discharge rate of cerebellar Purkinje cells produced by norepinephrine. Slowing of discharge evoked by 3',5'-adenosine monophosphate or gamma aminobutyric acid is not antagonized. These data provide the first indication that endogenous prostaglandins may physiologically function to modulate central noradrenergic junctions.
