The purpose of the present study was firstly, to investigate the actions of Ca++ and Na+ ions on the release and synthesis of ACh, respectively, in homogenates of cholinergic neurones, in order to gain further information concerning the role of these ions in ACh metabolism. The second purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis proposed by Birks that changes in intracellular sodium ion levels may provide a general mechanism for controlling a wide variety of metabolic processes in active cells.
