SUMMARY: Freshly-dispersed bovine trachealis cells were used for recording by the patch clamp technique of whole-cell and unitary currents through \(\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}\)-channels. Whole-cell \(\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}\)-current \(\left(\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{Ca}}\right.\) ) activated at \(-\mathbf{4 0 \mathrm {
The effect of pinacidil, an opener of ATP-sensitive K + (K ATP ) channels, on large-conductance Ca 2+ -activated K+ (BK Ca ) channels was investigated in cultured endothelial cells of human umbilical veins. In whole cell configuration, pinacidil (30 µM) increased the amplitude of K + outward current
