How can you use “synapse” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Significantly, among the five subtypes of muscarinic ACh receptors (MAChRs), Ml and M3 receptors have been shown to efficiently activate PLD (and PKC) in various cell types [ 26 27 28 29 30 ] , whereas activation of PLD by M2 and M4 receptors is less robust [ 26 ] . These observations suggest that in a cholinergic synapse, ACh released into the synaptic cleft might stimulate PLD activity leading to a release of choline that could be used for ACh synthesis.
Deletion of the 13q region is associated with human 13q syndrome, a developmental disorder [ 24 ] . Some of the proteoglycans play important functional roles in neurogenesis, axon guidance, synapse development [ 25 ] , and cellular growth and differentiation [ 26 27 23 ] . Mutations in GPC3 cause Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome [ 28 29 ] , however, no mutations were detected in the GPC5 and GPC6 genes [ 30 ] . The glypican1 gene has been suggested to be a good candidate for brachydactyly type E [ 31 ] . Given that, GPC5 is highly expressed in brain and mutations in other genes of the glypican families are associated with developmental disorder; GPC5 could be a potential candidate gene for Bipolar disorder.
Since dendrites are the primary site of synapse formation, we felt it was important to examine this possibility.
Nervous innervation of the prostate is believed to be mainly sympathetic [ 2 ] . These nerves descend through the hypogastric nerves and synapse on postganglionic neurons in the pelvic plexus (major pelvic ganglion in the rat) from which the prostate receives direct innervation.
However, in the presence of the endogenous ligand β-endorphin (when released at the synapse) or another full agonist, a weaker agonist can potentially act as a competitive antagonist.
