Effect of acidosis on transient outward potassium current in isolated rat ventricular myocytes.
The effect of acidosis on the transient outward K(+) current (I(to)) of rat ventricular myocytes has been investigated using the perforated patch-clamp technique. When the holding potential was -80 mV, depolarizing pulses to potentials positive to -20 mV activated I(to) in subepicardial cells but activated little I(to) in subendocardial cells. Exposure to an acid solution (pH 6.5) had no signif...
متن کاملDepressed transient outward potassium current density in catecholamine-depleted rat ventricular myocytes.
The effect of catecholamine depletion (induced by prior treatment with reserpine) was studied in Wistar rat ventricular myocytes using whole cell voltage-clamp methods. Two calcium-independent outward currents, the transient outward potassium current (I(to)) and the sustained outward potassium current (I(sus)), were measured. Reserpine treatment decreased tissue norepinephrine content by 97%. A...
متن کاملNeuropeptide Y increases 4-aminopyridine-sensitive transient outward potassium current in rat ventricular myocytes.
1. The modulation of 4-aminopyridine sensitive transient outward potassium current (4-AP I(to)) by neuropeptide Y (NPY) (100 nM) in rat ventricular myocytes was examined using the whole cell voltage-clamp technique. 2. Continuous exposure to NPY (100 nM) for 3 - 6 h significantly increased 4-AP I(to) density. The stimulation of 4-AP I(to) density by NPY was concentration-dependent (EC(50)=10 nM...
متن کاملDecreased inward rectifier potassium current IK1 in dystrophin-deficient ventricular cardiomyocytes
Kir2.x channels in ventricular cardiomyocytes (most prominently Kir2.1) account for the inward rectifier potassium current IK1, which controls the resting membrane potential and the final phase of action potential repolarization. Recently it was hypothesized that the dystrophin-associated protein complex (DAPC) is important in the regulation of Kir2.x channels. To test this hypothesis, we inves...
متن کاملAminopyridine block of transient potassium current
The blocking action of 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) and 3, 4-diaminopyridine (Di-AP) on transient potassium current (IA) in molluscan central neurons was studied in internal perfusion voltage-clamp experiments. Identical blocking effects were seen when the drugs were applied either externally or internally. It was found that aminopyridines have two kinds of effects on IA channels. The first involves ...
