Chunk #8 — 1 Acute Ethanol Actions — 1.1 Ligand-Gated Ion Channels and Postsynaptic Ethanol Effects — 1.1.1 Cys-loop Ligand-Gated Ion Channels
Text
Acute EtOH exposure potentiates the function of 5-HT3 receptors that contain an intrinsic cation channel (Lovinger 1991; Machu and Harris 1994). It is yet to be determined whether this action alters pre or postsynaptic mechanisms activated by this receptor.
