Involvement of Platelet-Derived Growth Factor–BB and Its Receptor-β in Hypoxia-Induced Depression of Excitatory Synaptic Transmission in the Nucleus Tractus Solitarius of Mice

The role of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB / PDGF receptor (PDGFR)-β signal in inhibition of synaptic transmission by hypoxia is unclear. In the nucleus tractus solitarius neurons, hypoxia with N2 or NaCN decreased the amplitude of excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSCs) similarly in wild...
