TY - JOUR AU - Carbajal, Sophia AU - Naik, Sam AU - Sun, Haorui PY - 2017/12/14 TI - No evidence of homocysteine or hydrogen peroxide influence at the crayfish neuromuscular junction JF - Pioneering Neuroscience; Vol 16 (2017) KW - N2 - Due to the differences between crayfish and mammals, we researched how homocysteine (HCY) and hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) affect the crayfish neuromuscular junction (NMJ). We hypothesized that H 2 O 2 would decrease synaptic activity at the crayfish NMJ, while HCY would enhance this inhibitory effect. We used electrophysiology to examine how the NMJ was influenced by HCY and H 2 O 2 . We concluded that there is no evidence of HCY or H 2 O 2 influence on synaptic activity at the crayfish NMJ.
