Influence of melatonin on the development of functional nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in cultured chick retinal cells

The influence of melatonin on the developmental pattern of functional nicotinic acetylcholine receptors was investigated in embryonic 8-day-old chick retinal cells in culture. The functional response to acetylcholine was measured in cultured retina cells by microphysiometry. The maximal functional r...
