The spontaneous efflux of [3H]GABA from the satellite glial cells of rat dorsal root ganglia and the efflux evoked by 64 mM‐K+were studied in the presence of 10‐5M‐amino‐oxyacetic acid and found not to be affected by 10‐4M‐D 600 or by elevated (9.6mM) Ca2+in the absence of Mg2+. [3H]GABA efflux was increased by replacing sodium ions in the washing medium by choline ions and 64 mM‐K+failed to increase the efflux further. The drugs veratridine (10‐6and 10‐4M) and batrachotoxin (10‐8and 10‐6M) failed to alter the spontaneous efflux of [3H]GABA from the glial cells.A variety of compounds, including amino acids, a GABA analogue and a GABA antagonist were tested for their ability to affect [3H]GABA efflux. The results indicated that compounds which inhibit GABA uptake into glial cells were also able to stimulate [3H]GABA efflux from these cells.The results are discussed with reference to possible mechanisms involved in the release of GABA from glial cells.
