| Abstract | We investigated how inhibition of mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake affects transmitter release from mouse motor terminals during brief trains of action potentials (500 at 50 Hz) in physiological bath [Ca2+]. When mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake was inhibited by depolarizing mitochondria with antimycin A1 or carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl-hydrazone, the stimulation-induced increase in cytosolic [Ca2+] was greater (> 10 μm, compared to ≤ 1μm in control solution), the quantal content of the endplate potential (EPP) depressed more rapidly (∼84 % depression compared to ∼8 % in controls), and asynchronous release during the stimulus train reached higher frequencies (peak rates of ∼6000 s−1 compared to ∼75 s−1 in controls). These effects of mitochondrial depolarization were not accompanied by a significant change in EPP quantal content or the rate of asynchronous release during 1 Hz stimulation, and were not seen in oligomycin, which blocks mitochondrial ATP synthesis without depolarizing mitochondria. Inhibition of endoplasmic reticular Ca2+ uptake with cyclopiazonic acid also had little effect on stimulation-induced changes in cytosolic [Ca2+] or EPP amplitude. We hypothesize that the high rate of asynchronous release evoked by stimulation during mitochondrial depolarization was produced by the elevation of cytosolic [Ca2+], and contributed to the accelerated depression of phasic release by reducing the availability of releasable vesicles. During mitochondrial depolarization, the post-tetanic potentiation of the EPP observed under control conditions was replaced by a post-tetanic depression with a slow time course of recovery. Thus, mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake is essential for sustaining phasic release, and thus neuromuscular transmission, during and following tetanic stimulation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
