Q

At what doses of Barbituates could we use the following to block barbituate action?

Bicuculline
Picrotoxin

A

Bicuculline - low doses only (barbs can open GABA channels themselves at high doses, so this antagonist wouldn’t work)
Picrotoxin - high doses only (able to get in channel to impair flow)
