Experiments are reviewed here in which Na/K pump current was determined as strophanthidin-sensitive current in guinea-pig ventricular myocytes, voltage-clamped and internally-dialyzed via wide-tipped pipettes. In the presence of 150 mM extracellular [Na], both outward and inward pump current, during
Studies on single K+-channel currents recorded from isolated rat heart muscle cells, in which early repolarization is known to be exceptionally fast, are reported here. A K+-channel which is blocked by TEA (tetraethylammonium) from the inside only has been found. The total open time of the channel,
The effect of forskolin on voltage-activated Na + and K + currents in nodes of Ranvier from the toad, Bufo marinus, has been examined using the vaseline-gap voltageclamp technique. Peak Na + currents (INa) were reduced by 35 % and the rate of decline of Na + current during continuous depolarization
