Comparison of parameters for [3H]DA release and membrane binding for nine agonists

Inhibition of l-NIC binding (KI)Inhibition of αBTX binding (KI)
Activation of transient release (K T)S  = 0.93S  = 0.80
R  = 0.97R  = 0.82
Activation of persistent release (K P)S  = 1.05S  = 0.94
R  = 0.98R  = 0.87
Inhibition of transient release (K IA)S  = 1.00S  = 0.89
R  = 0.98R  = 0.86
Inhibition of l-NIC binding (K I)S  = 0.87
R  = 0.85
  • S = slope; R = correlation coefficient.K T and K P values are from table2; K IA values are from fig. 7. K Ivalues for inhibition of [3H]l-NIC binding are from Marks et al. (1996). K I values for inhibition of [125I]αBTX binding are from unpublished data (Marks, M.J.).
