Abstract
We studied the effect of prostaglandins on presynaptic NMDA receptors. Prostaglandin E2 inhibited NMDA-induced 45Ca2+ uptake by synaptosomes in low concentrations (IC50 ∼10 µM), but potentiated it in higher concentrations. Prostaglandin D2 increased 45Ca2+ uptake by synaptosomes during stimulation of NMDA receptors. Our results indicate that prostaglandins D2 and E2 modulate function of presynaptic NMDA receptors.
