Current-voltage curve of sodium channels and concentration dependence of sodium permeability in frog skin.
1. The inward facing membranes of in vitro frog skin epithelium were depolarized with solutions of high K concentration. The electrical properties of the epithelium are then expected to be governed by the outward facing, Na-selective membrane.2. In this state, the transepithelial voltage (V) was clamped to zero and step-changes of Na activity in the outer solution ((Na)(o)) were performed with ...
متن کاملEnergetics of Sodium Transport in Frog Skin
Studies were made of the dependence of the rate of oxygen consumption, J(r), on the electrical potential difference, Deltapsi, across the frog skin. After the abolition of sodium transport by ouabain the basal oxygen consumption was independent of Deltapsi. In fresh skins J(r) was a linear function of Deltapsi over a range of at least +/-70 mv. Treatment with aldosterone stimulated the short-ci...
متن کاملVoltage dependence of intramembrane charge movement and conductance activation of batrachotoxin-modified sodium channels in frog node of Ranvier
Sodium current and sodium channel intramembrane gating charge movement (Q) were monitored in voltage-clamped frog node of Ranvier after modification of all sodium channels by batrachotoxin (BTX). BTX caused an approximately threefold increase in steepness of the Q vs. voltage relationship and a 50-mV negative shift in its midpoint. The maximum amount of intramembrane charge was virtually identi...
متن کاملVoltage-Gated Sodium Channels Modulation by Bothutous Schach Scorpion Venom
Buthotus schach is one of the dangers scorpion in Iran that belong to the Buthidae family. Toxins are existing in venom scorpion, modulate the ion channels by blocking or opening the pore of the channel or by altering the voltage gating and useful as pharmacological tools. In the present study, we investigated the effect of venom and its obtained fractions by gel filtrations on electrophysiolog...
متن کاملLidocaine increases intracellular sodium concentration through voltage-dependent sodium channels in an identified lymnaea neuron.
BACKGROUND The local anesthetic lidocaine affects neuronal excitability in the central nervous system; however, the mechanisms of such action remain unclear. The intracellular sodium concentration ([Na]i) and sodium currents (INa) are related to membrane potential and excitability. Using an identifiable respiratory pacemaker neuron from Lymnaea stagnalis, the authors sought to determine whether...
