Abstract
The time course of changes in perilymphatic glutamate release and thei r Ca2+-dependency were studied in the guinea pig cochlea during high K +-evoked depolarization. The glutamate concentration was analyzed cont inuously by an enzyme-linked fluorometric assay combined with microdia lysis. Two peaks of glutamate increase were found in response to perfu sion for 10 min. In the absence of Ca2+ the first peak was diminished, whereas the inhibition of the second peak was minimal.
