“…Similar to sarcosine, NFPS (1 mM) shifted the E-S curve to the right (15.9776.90%, t ¼ 2.3, df ¼ 10, po0.05; Figure 3b and c), and this was reversed by subsequent application of STN (1 mM, À15.6574.13%, t ¼ À3.8, df ¼ 8, po0.01 compared with the NFPS group; Figure 3b and d). In view of the sparse distribution of GlyT2 in the hippocampus (Zafra et al, 1995), the effects of a GlyT2 antagonist, O-[(2-benzyloxyphenyl-3-flurophenyl)methyl]-Lserine (ALX-1393), was also tested. Unlike GlyT1 antagonists, ALX-1393 (1 mM) did not shift the E-S curve (À0.3272.00%, t ¼ À0.16, df ¼ 5, p40.1; Figure 3c), indicating that GlyT2 blockade had no effect on GlyRs or neuronal excitability.…”
