| Abstract | The ability of action-potential-like waveforms (APWs) to attenuate opioid-induced inhibition of N-type Ca2+ channels was investigated in the neuroblastoma × glioma cell line NG108–15 using whole-cell voltage clamp methods. In in vitro differentiated NG108–15 cells, the opioid agonist [d-ala2]-methionine-enkephalin (DAME) reversibly decreased ω-conotoxin-GVIA-sensitive Ba2+ currents (N-type currents). Agonist-mediated inhibition of N-type currents could be transiently relieved by strong unphysiological depolarizing prepulses to +80 mV (facilitation). Significant facilitation was also achieved by conditioning the cell with a train of 15 APWs, which roughly mimicked physiological action potentials (1- to 6-ms-long depolarizations to +30 mV from a holding potential of –40 mV). The APW-induced facilitation depended on both conditioning pulse frequency and duration. Summation of the disinhibition produced by each APW was possible because reinhibition following repolarization to –40 mV was a much slower process (τ=88 ms) than the onset of facilitation at +80 mV (τ=7 ms). These results provide evidence that N-type Ca2+ channel facilitation may be a physiologically relevant process, and suggest that neuronal firing may relieve agonist-induced inhibition of N-type currents to an extent depending on both the shape of action potentials and the frequency of firing. |

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.
