AIM To investigate the muscarinic regulation of L-type calcium current (I(Ca-L)) during development. METHODS The whole cell patch-clamp technique was used to record II(Ca-L) in mice embryonic cardiomyocytes at different stages (the early developmental stage, EDS; the intermediate developmental stage, IDS; and the late developmental stage, LDS). Carbachol (CCh) was used to stimulate M-receptor...
