The slow P III response of the isolated frog retina.

چکیده
The slow PIII response of the electroretinogram (ERG) was studied in the isolated, aspartate-treated bullfrog retina. The slow PIII response reflected mainly rod activity in its time course and spectral response curve, and the ratio of the peak amplitude of the fast PIII response to the slow one remained almost constant within a scotopic range when rhodopsin was kept at a constant concentration. Reducing Na+ or K+ concentration in the extracellular fluid or decreasing the rhodopsin content in the retina, however, caused different influences on the fast and slow PIII responses, and, in particular, the reduction in amplitude of the slow PIII response was more marked than that of the fast PIII response. Under these circumstances, the log of the amplitude of the slow PIII response was in linear proportion to the amplitude of the fast PIII response. In addition, the amplitude reduction of the fast PIII response was not accompanied by a decrease in peak latency but that of the slow PIII response was. An explanation on the production of the slow PIII response was attempted with reference to other results related to the slow PIII response, ionic mechanism of the electrical activity of photoreceptor cells and their Na-K pump activity.

Introduction: Effects of melatonin (MT) were comparatively examined on melanophores of isolated skin in adults and tadpole’s tailfin of a frog Rana cyanophlyctis. MT is generally considered as a potent melanophores aggregating hormone besides regulating the sleep wake cycle in vertebrates. Methods: Melanophore size index (MSI) was chosen as a recording parameter of the responses. Concentr...

Introduction: Intranodal pathways of atrioventricular (AV) node play a vital role in the delay of conduction time in response to various atrial inputs. The present study was aimed to determine the frequency-dependent electrophysiological properties of concealed slow pathway according to a functional model of isolated rabbit atrioventricular node preparation after fast pathway ablation. Meth...
متن کاملEffects of Cardiac Glycosides on Electrical Activity in the Isolated Retina of the Frog
Ouabain added to physiological salt solutions bathing the isolated frog retina irreversibly abolishes the electrical response to light (the electroretinogram or ERG). The time course of abolition depends on the concentration of ouabain in the medium and the surface of the retina to which it is applied. When the glycoside is placed on the receptor surface, in 7 min the ERG is completely eliminat...
