Does harmaline attenuate voltage -- sensitive Ca ( 2+ ) currents in neurons of the inferior olive?
Our data suggest that one mode of olivary neuron activation by harmaline involves attenuation of both HVA and LVA Ca(2+) conductances and consequent attenuation of Ca(2+)-sensitive K(+) conductances resulting in spike broadening and attenuation of the afterhyperpolarization. Both of HVA and LVA attenuation also suggests a role to regulate intracelluar Ca(2+), thereby to protect neurons from apoptosis.
The application of the 7 self-etching adhesives tested in this study improves the dentin shear bond strengths of Fuji II LC. This increase depended on the adhesive system and ranged from 50% for ADP up to 130% for MB2.
