“…Asp increases linearly with the increase in [Ca], which accompanies the action potential, and post-tetanic potentia-444 EFFECT OF Ca ON ACh RELEASE tion is due to a slow increase ofp during continual high-frequency stimulation, there should be a small increase in the basal level of [Ca], during continual high-frequency stimulation. This is the case (Baker et al 1971;Llinas, Blinks & Nicholson, 1972), and explains why post-tetanic potentiation is solely dependent on Ca (Weinreich, 1971), and why during potentiation there is an increase in the basal level of transmitter release (Magleby, 1973a).…”
