Voltage clamp analysis of acetylcholine produced end-plate current fluctuations at frog neuromuscular junction.
1. Acetylcholine produced end-plate current (e.p.c.) noise is shown to be the results of statistical fluctuations in the ionic conductance of voltage clamped end-plates of Rana pipiens.2. These e.p.c. fluctuations are characterized by their e.p.c. spectra which conform to a relation predicted from a simple model of end-plate channel gating behaviour.3. The rate constant of channel closing alpha...
متن کاملVoltage-dependence of drug-induced conductance in frog neuromuscular junction.
Membrane currents from voltage-clamped frog muscle fibers were recorded during iontophoretic application of steady doses of carbachol, acetylcholine, and suberyldicholine to the endplate region. In the presence of these drugs, an exponentially relaxing current was observed after step changes of membrane potential. The time constant of relaxation was found to be voltage-dependent. It was equal t...
متن کاملEffects of Cesium Ions on the Frequency of Miniature End Potentials at the Frog Neuromuscular Junction -Plate
The effects of Cs ions on the frequency of miniature end-plate potentials (MEPPs) were. investigated at the frog neuromuscular junction. The frequency of MEPPs increased gradually with time, after a delay, when part of the NaCI in normal Ringer's solution was replaced isotonically with CsCI. The delay was greatly prolonged and the rate of increase in MEPP frequency slowed when a low concentrati...
متن کاملInteraction of glutamate- and adenosine-induced decrease of acetylcholine quantal release at frog neuromuscular junction.
In a frog neuromuscular preparation of m. sartorius, glutamate had a reversible dose-dependent inhibitory effect on both spontaneous miniature endplate potentials (MEPP) and nerve stimulation-evoked endplate potentials (EPP). The effect of glutamate on MEPP and EPP is caused by the activation of metabotropic glutamate receptors, as it was eliminated by MCPG, an inhibitor of group I metabotropic...
متن کاملThermal Acclimation, Neuromuscular Synaptic Delay and Miniature End-plate Current Decay in the Frog Rana Temporaria
1. The effects of 1 or 2­3 weeks of acclimation to 4 °C and 24 °C of overwintering grass frogs (Rana temporaria) on the synaptic delay and on the time constant of the decay phase (tau) of miniature end-plate currents (MEPCs) in the neuromuscular junction of sartorius muscle were studied. In order to equalize the possible effects of differential starvation, the animals were usually c...
