Regulation of Function

It was later shown that substimulatory concentrations of many types of neutrophil agonists could also induce this up-regulation of function. Because the concentrations of these compounds that were required did not activate the neutrophil per se, the phenomenon was referred to as priming .

Destruction or dissipation of the transmitter and termination of action. To sustain high frequency transmission and regulation of function, the synaptic dwell-time of the primary neurotransmitter must be relatively short. At cholinergic synapses involved in rapid neurotransmission, high and locahzed concentrations of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) are localized to hydrolyze ACh. When AChE is inhibited, removal of the transmitter occurs principally by diffusion, and the effects of ACh are potentiated and prolonged (see Chapter 8).
