Increase in Expression of α1 and α2/δ1 Subunits of L-Type High Voltage-Gated Calcium Channels After Sustained Ethanol Exposure in Cerebral Cortical Neurons

Increase in Expression of α1 and α2/δ1 Subunits of L-Type High Voltage-Gated Calcium Channels After Sustained Ethanol Exposure in Cerebral Cortical Neurons

Previous reports revealed up-regulation of L-type high voltage-gated calcium channels (HVCCs) in mouse brains with ethanol physical dependence. We investigated mechanisms of enhancement of L-type HVCC function using mouse cerebrocortical neurons exposed to 50 mM ethanol for 3 days and the brains of...
