Differential action of riluzole on tetrodotoxin-sensitive and tetrodotoxin-resistant sodium channels.
The effects of riluzole, a neuroprotective drug, on tetrodotoxin-sensitive (TTX-S) and tetrodotoxin-resistant (TTX-R) sodium channels in rat dorsal root ganglion neurons were studied using the whole-cell patch clamp technique. At the resting potential, riluzole preferentially blocked TTX-S sodium channels, whereas at more negative potentials, it blocked both types of sodium channels almost equa...
متن کاملAntiarrhythmic action of tetrodotoxin in various animal species.
Effect of tetrodotoxin (TTX) on the aconitine-induced arrhythmias of the isolated cardiac tissues of the chicken embryo, the toad and the golden carp is studied by a microelectrode technique. TTX in a dose of 10-8-10-7 g/ml antagonized the aconitine-induced rapid firing in the chicken embryo ventricle, the toad atrium and the golden carp atrium. TTX was much more potent than lidocaine in exerti...
متن کاملTetrodotoxin-sensitive and -insensitive action potentials in myotubes.
The study of long-term cultures of myogenic cells has proven that electrical excitability develops only after the development of electrical coupling between the cells. That is, neither surface contact in itself nor coupling in itself is sufficient to cause excitability to develop in these cells. Following the formation of multinucleated myotubes, several different types of electrical responses ...
متن کاملNonlinear alternating current responses of graded materials.
When a composite of nonlinear particles suspended in a host medium is subjected to a sinusoidal electric field, the electrical response in the composite will generally consist of alternating current (ac) fields at frequencies of higher-order harmonics. The situation becomes more interesting when the suspended particles are graded, with a spatial variation in the dielectric properties. The local...
متن کاملBaboon responses to graded bark variants
We studied chacma baboons’, Papio cynocephalus ursinus, responses to conspecific ‘barks’ in a free-ranging population in the Okavango Delta of Botswana. These barks grade from tonal, harmonically rich calls to calls having a noisier, harsher structure. Tonal or clear barks are typically given when the signaller is at risk of losing contact with the group or when a mother and infant have become ...
