1. Transmitter release was analysed at frog neuromuscular junctions pre‐treated with 400 mM
glycerol Ringer. In the absence of added drugs, end‐plate potentials (epps) and miniature …

… Metals with similar high affinities for SH groups (eg Cu 2+ )J0 are much less neurotoxic
because they do not have easy access to the intraneuronal space (MD Miyamoto, unpublished …

Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP 3 ) and cyclic adenosine diphosphate-ribose (cADPR) are
second messengers that enhance neurosecretion by inducing Ca 2+ release from smooth …

… Miyamoto's present address is the Department of Pharmacology, University of Connecticut
… by adenosine with cAMP at the level of protein kinase (Miyamoto et al., 1969) or inhibition of …

The release of chemical transmitter from nerve terminals is critically dependent on a transient
increase in intracellular Ca 2+ . The increase in Ca 2+ may be due to influx of Ca 2+ from …

In the endplates of rat phrenic nerve-diaphragm, application of the acetylcholine-like
compound, carbachol, causes a marked increase in transmitter release, as measured …

The effect of urotensin II (U‐II) on spontaneous transmitter release was examined in the frog
to see if the biological activity of this vasoactive peptide extended to neural tissues. In …

To determine problems involved in the treatment and diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, a
collective study of small carcinoma of the pancreas (2 cm or less in diameter) was performed. …

1. Transmitter release from Mg2+‐treated frog neuromuscular junctions can be described by
binomial statistics. Good agreement between the observed amplitude‐frequency …

… MD MIYAMOTO … This can be checked by a variety of tests, eg, (1) the slope of the
regression line for m should not be different from zero (Miyamoto, 1975); (2) the average of the …
