Deuterium oxide and temperature effects on the properties of endplate channels at the frog neuromuscular junction
The effects of deuterium oxide (D2O) and temperature on the properties of endplate channels were studied in voltage-clamped muscle fibers from the frog Rana pipiens. Studies were performed at temperatures of 8, 12, 16, and 20 degrees C. The single channel conductance (gamma) and mean channel lifetime (tau) were calculated from fluctuation analysis of the acetylcholine-induced end-plate currents...
متن کاملEffects of ammonium ions on endplate channels
Miniature endplate currents, recorded from voltage-clamped toad sartorius muscle fibers in solutions containing ammonium ions substituted for sodium ions, were increased in amplitude and decayed exponentially with a slower time constant than in control (Na) solution. The peak conductance of miniature endplate currents was also greater in ammonium solutions. The acetylcholine null potential was ...
متن کاملEffects of deuterium oxide on folate metabolism in Lactobacillus casei.
Various folate coenzymes and their polyglutamyl derivatives involved in 1-carbon metabolism are modulated as a result of altered physiological states and also vary with respect to growth conditions. We studied the metabolic changes in folic acid and their conjugated polyglutamyl derivatives in Lactobacillus casei cells grown in the presence of D20. A 40% decrease in methyltetrahydrofolyl polygl...
متن کاملEffects of deuterium oxide on Streptococcus mutans and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
A complex aggregation of microorganisms growing on a solid substrate is termed a biofilm and is considered to be an etiological agents. Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Streptococcus mutans are representative bacteria in such biofilms. It is well known that deuterium oxide (D₂O) causes toxic effects on a number of biological systems. We investigated the effects of D₂O on growth and biofilm formation ...
متن کاملEffects of deuterium oxide on mechano-sensory receptor.
In the crayfish stretch receptor organ, a total substitution of D2O for H2O in the bathing solution produced a decrease in the amplitude of the receptor potential to a level of 34% of the control. The electrical resistance of the receptor neuron was slightly increased by the D2O substitution. The input capacitance of the neuron was unchanged. The viscoelastic properties of the receptor muscle w...
