Signal Transduction in Astrocytes during Chronic or Acute Treatment with Drugs (SSRIs, Antibipolar Drugs, GABA-ergic Drugs, and Benzodiazepines) Ameliorating Mood Disorders

Release of previously incorporated label in glycogen during exposure to 10 mM extracellular K⁺ for 30 sec in the presence and absence of 20 nM midazolam and to 20 mM K⁺ without midazolam for 60 sec. In the presence of midazolam, glycogenolysis during exposure to 10 mM K⁺ for 30 sec is significantly increased and its magnitude becomes similar to that seen after 1 min of exposure to 20 mM K⁺ alone, from Subbarao et al. [129].
