The effect of intracellular protons (Hi +) on the inward rectifier K + channel of the guinea-pig ventricular ceil membrane was examined, using the patch-clamp technique. The inward single-channel current was recorded in "inside-out" and "outside-out" patch configurations, while the pH of the solutio

The possible regulation of guinea pig enterocyte ion channels by GTP-binding proteins has been investigated by using the whole-cell recording mode of the patch-clamp technique and non-hydrolysable analogues of GTP. The main K + currents in these cells are mediated by inwardlyrectifying K + channels.
Patch-clamp techniques were used to study the effects of pinacidil on the adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP)sensitive K + channel current in guinea-pig ventricular myocytes. In inside-out patches, the ATP-sensitive K + channel current could be recorded at an internal ATP concentration of 0.5 mM or tess
