Abstract
Desensitization of choline receptors is studied after pharmacological effects on the intracellular level of nitric oxide and cyclic guanosine monophosphate in snail neurons. It is shown that inhibitors of NO synthase do not alter desensitization, whereas an activator of guanylate cyclase as well as intracellular injection of guanosine monophosphate boost it.
