We study changes in the neurotransmission at frog neuromuscular junction.
Olesoxime increases evoked, but not spontaneous, neurotransmitter release.
Olesoxime increases exo-endocytosis and the rate of synaptic vesicle recycling.
Olesoxime impacts on synaptic membrane properties/formation of lipid rafts.
The structurally related oxysterol, 5α-cholestan-3one, has opposite actions.
