A monosynaptic reflex pathway was used to produce a post-tetanic potentiation (PTP). in ten experiments (cats) one side was tetanized (via N. gastrocnemius) whereas the other one was taken as control. Tissue was punched out of the ventral horn area of the spinal cord (segment height L7/S1) for the analysis of the phospholipid content. The results demonstrate that PTP significantly increases phosphatidyl-inositol in the potentiated alpha-motoneurone area. Phosphatidylserine showed a trend towards a decrease; sphingomyelin, phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine remained almost unchanged. The effect of a different tetanizing time on the phospholipid content is discussed as is the intention of the present experiments.

Serotonin uptake, binding and release were studied in human blood platelets. The uptake showed marked individual differences while the loss of 5-HT during resuspension of the 5-HT loaded platelets was constant. The existence of 5-HT binding proteins was demonstrated by equilibrium dialysis, gel filtration on a column equilibrated with 5-HT, affinity chromatography on a 5-HT-Sepharose column and polyacryl-amide disc gel electrophoresis experiments. After incubation of the platelet extract in the presence of [14-C]5-HT, electrophoretic and autoradiographic analysis demonstrated the presence of three 5-HT binding proteins, two of which were soluble glycoproteins specific for serotonin.
