“…The type of cholinoceptor sites involved in the feedback regulation however, is controversial. Muscarinic inhibitory (Duncan & Publicover, 1979;Michaelson et al, 1979;Abbs & Joseph, 1981;Somogyi et al, 1987) and excitatory (Das et al, 1978;Wali et al, 1987;Wessler et al, 1987) prejunctional cholinoceptors have been reported at vertebrate neuromuscular junctions and in the Torpedo electric organ. In the presence of tubocurarine, a frequency-dependent decrease of evoked ACh release was obtained which suggested the presence of nicotinic prejunctional cholinoceptors mediating a positive feedback control of evoked transmitter release (Glavinovic, 1979a;Magleby et al, 1981;Wessler et al, 1986;Matzner et al, 1988).…”
