Abstract
Isolated ganglia possess the ability to concentrate tryptamine from an external medium by a process which is temperature sensitive and independent of sodium and other cations. Kinetic analysis of the accumulation process showed the influx of tryptamine to be a single mechanism with Km and Vmax values of 1.4 X 10(-4)M and 5 X 10(-8) mole/g/min. The influx of tryptamine is an unspecific process and is insensitive to a number of metabolic inhibitors and various analogues. The process of tryptamine influx is thus similar in principle to the low affinity uptake mechanism for 5-HT (see Osborne et al., 1975). The present data, which include some experiments on the release of 5-HT and tryptamine, are discussed from the point of view of a functional role for 5-HT and tryptamine in the snail CNS.
分离的神经节具有从外部介质中浓缩色胺的能力,该过程对温度敏感,不依赖于钠和其他阳离子。累积过程的动力学分析表明,色胺内流为单一机制,Km和Vmax分别为1.4 X 10(-4)M和5 X 10(-8) mol /g/min。色胺的内流是一个非特异性的过程,对许多代谢抑制剂和各种类似物不敏感。因此,色胺内流的过程在原则上与5-羟色胺的低亲和力摄取机制相似(见Osborne等人,1975)。从5-羟色胺和5-羟色胺在蜗牛中枢神经系统中的功能作用的角度讨论了目前的数据,包括一些关于5-羟色胺和色胺释放的实验。
