Limitations of the double sucrose gap voltage clamp technique in tension-voltage determinations on frog atrial muscle.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the limitations of the double sucrose gap voltage clamp technique in the determination of tension-voltage relationships for frog atrial muscle. Tension-voltage relationships were determined under two conditions. In one case we determined both the tension response and slow inward current associated with an apparent step depolarization (step-clamp) as a f...
متن کاملVoltage Clamp Analysis of Repetitive Firing in Frog Atrial Trabeculae
The membrane currents responsible for induced pace-maker activity in frog atrial muscle were investigated using a double sucrose gap technique. The trabecula was clamped to the potential from which pace-making started (35—40 mV positive to resting potential) and immediately after that a test pulse was applied and the membrane inward current was measured. When the duration of the conditioning pu...
متن کاملVoltage clamp simulations for multifiber bundles in a double sucrose gap: cable complications.
A theoretical model is presented for voltage clamp of a bundle of cylindrical excitable cells in a double sucrose gap. The preparation in the test node is represented by a single one-dimensional cable (length/diameter ratio approximately) with standard Hodgkin-Huxley kinetics for transmembrane Na current. Imperfections of voltage control due to internal (longitudinal) resistivity and external (...
متن کاملVoltage clamp simulations for multifiber bundles in a double sucrose gap: radial vs. longitudinal resistance effects.
Voltage clamp responses of a single excitable fiber were simulated using a core conductor model including a high external resistance (Rs) in series to the fiber membrane to allow for intercellular clefts in a multifiber preparation. In terms of specific resistance, Rs was between 68 and 264 omega cm2. Internal resistivity (Ri) was taken to be zero or 200 omega cm. The aim of the study was to qu...
متن کاملVoltage-tension relations in single frog atrial cardiac cells.
Voltage-clamp experiments were performed on isolated single frog (Rana catesbeiana or Rana pipiens) atrial cells to determine the voltage-contraction relations of the single cardiac cell. The contractile responses of the single cell associated with long duration (3 second) depolarizing steps consisted of a rise to peak (phasic) followed by a decay to a sustained contraction (tonic). These phasi...
