Voltage 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 کاملInfluence of myosin isoforms on contractile properties of intact muscle fibers from Rana pipiens.
The myosin heavy chain (MHC) and myosin light chain (MLC) isoforms in skeletal muscle of Rana pipiens have been well characterized. We measured the force-velocity (F-V) properties of single intact fast-twitch fibers from R. pipiens that contained MHC types 1 or 2 (MHC1 or MHC2) or coexpressed MHC1 and MHC2 isoforms. Velocities were measured between two surface markers that spanned most of the f...
متن کاملAn improved vaseline gap voltage clamp for skeletal muscle fibers
A Vaseline gap potentiometric recording and voltage clamp method is developed for frog skeletal muscle fibers. The method is based on the Frankenhaeuser-Dodge voltage clamp for myelinated nerve with modifications to improve the frequency response, to compensate for external series resistance, and to compensate for the complex impedance of the current-passing pathway. Fragments of single muscle ...
متن کاملHistamine-Immunoreactive Fibers in the Brain of Rana pipiens
Histamine (HA) isa neurotransmitter that has been found in the brains of several species. We examined the brain of Rana pipiens using a well-characterized antibody to HA conjugated to 1-ethyl-3(3diamethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide (EDCDI) with immunohistochemistry (IHC). Staining was enhanced by pre-treating the animals with histidine, colchicine, and quinacrine. IHC staining was done in the sta...
