Concentrations of l-glutamate, quisqualate, and 1S,3R-ACPD that stimulated half-maximal increases in [3H]InsP1 accumulation (assessed at 30 min in the presence of 10 mm LiCl) or Ins(1,4,5)P3mass accumulation (assessed at 30 sec) are presented as −log EC50 ± standard error values from analyses of at least three concentration-response curves, each performed in duplicate.

    • N.D., An EC50 for this response could not be calculated.
