Sodium and gating current time shifts resulting from changes in initial conditions
The sodium and gating currents of the squid giant axon elicited by a depolarizing pulse are delayed, with little change in shape, as a result of a hyperpolarizing prepulse. The delays are almost completely saturated, at approximately 45 microseconds, for prepulses to -140 mV. At 8 degrees C they develop with time constants of between 60 and 180 microseconds for prepulses in the -130- to -150-mV...
متن کاملCurrent-dependent gating of single cardiac sodium channels?
Based on studies of differences in physicochemical properties of antagonists and agonists of ionic channels it has been proposed that the magnitude of the elementary currents might influence the gating properties of ionic channel (personal communication) who reported that in inwardly rectifying potassium channels increased unitary currents induced prolonged single channel openings. A similar fi...
متن کاملInactivation of the sodium channel. II. Gating current experiments
Gating current (Ig) has been studied in relation to inactivation of Na channels. No component of Ig has the time course of inactivation; apparently little or no charge movement is associated with this step. Inactivation nonetheless affects Ig by immobilizing about two-thirds of gating charge. Immobilization can be followed by measuring ON charge movement during a pulse and comparing it to OFF c...
متن کاملIntersubunit conformational changes mediate epithelial sodium channel gating
The epithelial Na(+) channel (ENaC) functions as a pathway for Na(+) absorption in the kidney and lung, where it is crucial for Na(+) homeostasis and blood pressure regulation. However, the basic mechanisms that control ENaC gating are poorly understood. Here we define a role in gating for residues forming interfaces between the extracellular domains of the three ENaC subunits. Using cysteine s...
متن کاملMacular changes resulting from papilloedema.
Six cases are presented with macular changes in association with papilloedema; 4 suffered permanent visual loss. The present paper emphasises this previously infrequent finding and discusses the haemodynamic and mechanical factors responsible. The macular changes consisted of haemorrhages situated in front, within, or behind the retina, and occasionally the results of neovascular membrane forma...
