Nile blue fluorescence signals from cut single muscle fibers under voltage or current clamp conditions
A method is presented for recording extrinsic optical signals from segments of single skeletal muscle fibers under current or voltage clamp conditions. Such segments, which are cut from intact fibers, are maintained in a relaxed state, while exhbiting otherwise normal physiological properties, including healthy delayed rectifier currents. Extrinsic fluorescence changes are demonstrated, using t...
متن کاملVoltage Clamp Experiments on Single Muscle Fibers of Rana pipiens
A voltage clamp for single muscle fibers has been developed. Stability of the system was achieved when an artificial node was created by enclosing a single muscle fiber in a petroleum jelly seal which served as an analogue of the myelin sheath. Typical voltage clamp records were obtained with large inward transient currents followed by a delayed rectification of the outward currents. These curr...
متن کاملVoltage Clamp Experiments in Striated Muscle Fibers
1. Membrane currents during step depolarizations were determined by a method in which three electrodes were inserted near the end of a fibre in the frog's sartorius muscle. The theoretical basis and limitations of the method are discussed.2. Measurements of the membrane capacity (C(M)) and resting resistance (R(M)) derived from the current during a step change in membrane potential are consiste...
متن کاملStudies on Calcium and Sodium in Uterine Smooth Muscle Excitation under Current-Clamp and Voltage-Clamp Conditions
The objective of these studies was to define the roles of calcium and sodium in uterine smooth muscle excitation. The double sucrose-gap technique was used for current-clamp and voltage-clamp experiments. It was shown that neither sodium nor calcium alone is capable of supporting excitation in estrogen-dominated uterine smooth muscle. Calcium dependence was explained in part by increased membra...
متن کاملCurrent-voltage relations in the isolated giant axon of the cockroach under voltage-clamp conditions.
Our understanding of the ionic exchanges taking place at the nerve membrane during electrical activity has been greatly increased by the application of the voltageclamp technique. This experimental method consists of the application of a stepwise change in potential to a given area of membrane and the simultaneous measurement of the current flow produced by this given potential gradient. The vo...
