    Notes: Abstract: The effect of taurine on the release of [3H]acetylcholine ([3H]ACh) and [3H]-γ-aminobutyric acid ([3H]GABA) from preloaded locust synaptosomes has been studied. Veratridine (100 μM) and K+ (100 mM) both evoked [3H]ACh release and this was reduced in a concentration-dependent manner by taurine (5, 10, and 20 mM). In contrast to this, veratridine induced no observable release of [3H]GABA, and the response to K+ was slight. In the presence of taurine, however, a concentration-dependent enhancement of [3H]GABA release was observed. Since nipecotic acid (1 mM), an inhibitor of neuronal GABA uptake, also revealed [3H]GABA release induced by veratridine, it is suggested that both this effect and that of taurine are due to prevention of GABA reuptake. These results suggest that taurine may act as a neuromodulator in insects.

    Effect of Taurine on Calcium Accumulation in Resting and Depolarised Insect Synaptosomes (1988)

    Notes: Abstract: The effect of taurine (2-aminoethanesulphonic acid) on 45Ca2+ accumulation in resting and depolarised synaptosomes obtained from the locust Schistocerca americana gregaria was studied. Taurine reduced 45Ca2+ accumulation in resting synaptosomes, and this effect was more pronounced when synaptosomes were depolarised with either high [K+] or veratridine. Veratridine-induced 45Ca2+ accumulation was not affected by either γ-aminobutyric acid or leucine, but was reduced by both verapamil and tetrodotoxin.

    Notes: [Auszug] SIR ? In the preamble to the first editorial in the edition of Nature dated 22 April (p.693), the word "abreact" is used. So far as I can discover the word is a term from psychoanalysis referring to the liberation of the individual from neurosis by the expression of repressed emotion. Is this what ...
