Glycine, an inhibitory transmitter in spinal cord, is taken up into specific nerve terminals by means of a unique high-affinity uptake system. In this study, [3H]glycine was directly microinjected into rat ventral horn in vivo and electron microscope autoradiography used to localize the label in various anatomic compartments. Quantiative analysis showed that [3H]glycine labeled a high proportion of axosomatic and axodendritic synapses which presumably act to inhibit spinal motor neurons.
甘氨酸是脊髓中的一种抑制性递质,它通过一种独特的高亲和力摄取系统被摄取到特定的神经末梢中。在本研究中,将[3H]甘氨酸直接活体微量注射到大鼠腹角,并使用电子显微镜放射自显影术将标记定位在各种解剖区域。定量分析表明,[3H]甘氨酸标记了很大比例的轴体突触和轴树突触,这些突触可能起到抑制脊髓运动神经元的作用。
