Evidence for Participation by Calcium Ion and Cyclic AMP in Olfactory Transduction

The roles of Ca super(2+) and cAMP in olfactory transduction were explored by aerosol application of inorganic cations, organic calcium channel antagonists, and cyclic nucleotide agonists onto the olfactory epithelium of urethane-anesthetized frogs (Rana pipiens ). During extracellular recording, sa...

Zusammenfassung:The roles of Ca super(2+) and cAMP in olfactory transduction were explored by aerosol application of inorganic cations, organic calcium channel antagonists, and cyclic nucleotide agonists onto the olfactory epithelium of urethane-anesthetized frogs (Rana pipiens ). During extracellular recording, saturated vapors of isoamyl acetate were delivered every 100 seconds in 0.3-second pulses. Preliminary experiments with the tiger salamander (Ambystoma tigrinum ) parallel the results reported for the frog.
