    Notes: [Auszug] The suction pipette method is similar to that used in snail neurones and the details have been published elsewhere10. The main difference in the present experiments is that the tip diameter of the suction pipette was smaller, about 20 ??, and the measured tip resistances ranged from 150 to 250 kfl. ...

    Notes: [Auszug] Neurones from the circumoesophageal ganglia of Helix aspersa were exposed by removing the capsule of the ganglion. Part of a neurone of about 100 |xm diameter was sucked into the tip of a 50-|xm diameter suction pipette and removed from adjacent neurones and its own axon by pulling it free of the ...

    Notes: [Auszug] We have developed a simple suction pipette method with which individual nerve cell bodies can be isolated, perfused internally and voltage clamped. This method will be valuable in the study of individual cell membranes of excitable or inexcitable tissues. Fig. 1 Schematic of experimental setup. D1 ...

    Notes: Summary This study measured the ouabain-sensitive adenosine triphosphatase activity in sciatic nerve, lumbar dorsal root ganglia and superior cervical ganglia from control rats, rats with 8 weeks streptozotocin-induced diabetes and rats fed a diet containing 20% galactose for 8 weeks. Whilst the sciatic nerves of the diabetic rats showed a 42% reduction in ouabain-sensitive adenosine triphosphatase activity, the galactose-fed rats showed an increase of 124% (p〈0.01 and p〈0.005, respectively, compared to controls). There was also a reduction (by 30% compared to controls; p〈0.05) in the ouabain-sensitive adenosine triphosphatase activity of the dorsal root ganglia from the diabetic rats, but their superior cervical ganglia did not show a significant fall. The ganglia of the galactosaemic rats showed no change in ouabain-sensitive adenosine triphosphatase activity compared to controls. These changes coexisted with increases in appropriate polyol pathway metabolites in all tissues of both diabetic and galactosaemic rats. There were also depletions of myo-inositol in the sciatic nerves and dorsal root ganglia of diabetic and galactosaemic rats, but their superior cervical ganglia contained levels of myo-inositol which were similar to those of controls. The nerves of the galactosaemic rats showed increased water content; the nerves of the diabetic rats did not. The data argue against a simple relationship between myoinositol depletion and impaired Na/K adenosine triphosphatase activity in association with exaggerated polyol pathway flux in peripheral nervous tissue.

    Notes: Summary This study measured the ouabain-sensitive and ouabain-resistant adenosine triphosphatase activity in homogenates of the sciatic nerves and of pooled fourth and fifth lumbar dorsal root ganglia from rats fed 20% galactose or made diabetic with streptozotocin for either 4 or 8 weeks. Diabetes caused reductions in both fractions of sciatic nerve adenosine triphosphatase activity. After 8 weeks the ouabainsensitive fraction was 54% of control (p〈0.05) and the ouabain-resistant fraction was 57% of control (p〈0.05). Galactose feeding more than doubled the ouabain-sensitive adenosine triphosphatase activity in the sciatic nerve (225% of control after 4 weeks, 215% of control after 8 weeks of galactose feeding, bothp〈0.01) and produced a progressive increase in the ouabain-resistant fraction (119% of control at 4 weeks (p〈0.05) and 176% of control at 8 weeks (p〈0.01)). In a group of rats fed galactose for 5 days, sciatic nerve ouabain-sensitive adenosine triphosphatase activity was 165% of control. Treatment with the aldose-reductase inhibitors tolrestat, ponalrestat or sorbinil prevented accumulation of polyol and depletion of myo-inositol in the sciatic nerves, indicating effective inhibition of aldose reductase. These drugs prevented completely the effect of galactose on the sciatic nerve adenosine triphosphatase activity, but had no significant effect on the reduction in adenosine triphosphatase activity in the sciatic nerves of diabetic rats. In the dorsal root ganglia galactose feeding had no measurable effect on the adenosine triphosphatase activity. Diabetes caused a modest numerical reduction in the ouabain-sensitive activity only. The findings indicate markedly different effects of diabetes and galactosaemia on the adenosine triphosphatase activity in rat sciatic nerve and show that the reduction in activity seen in the nerves of diabetic rats was not related to exaggerated polyol pathway flux.

    Notes: Summary This study measured the velocity of fast orthograde axonal transport of incorporated 3H-proline in motoneurones of the sciatic nerve in control rats and in rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes of 3 weeks duration. Sciatic nerve and abdominal cavity temperatures were monitored throughout the period of measurement of transport velocity, and the rats were warmed to minimise hypothermia at both sites. There was marked abdominal and sciatic nerve hypothermia immediately after operation, and this effect was more intense in diabetic rats than in control rats. In steady state, abdominal cavity temperature (mean±SEM) was 38.1±0.1 °C in both control and diabetic rats, and the sciatic nerve temperatures were 37.8±0.1 °C in controls and 37.1±0.3 °C in diabetic rats. The difference was not statistically significant. The velocities of orthograde axonal transport for the fastest molecules containing 3H-proline were 14.0±0.9 (SEM)mm/h for controls and 13.9±1.1 (SEM)mm/h for diabetic rats. Thus, no velocity difference was observed. The findings are discussed in relation to measurements of fast orthograde transport velocity in experimental diabetes in other studies. It is suggested that, where velocity deficits have been seen in diabetic rats, nerve hypothermia should be considered as a contributory factor.

    Notes: Summary In a giant neuron ofAplysia californica, permeabilities and conductances obtained by measuring net fluxes of Na+, K+ and Cl− with ion-specific microelectrodes were compared with those obtained by measuring transmembrane current and potential changes when the three ions were varied in the external solution. Net fluxes were measured with ion-specific microelectrodes, after blocking metabolic processes, thus allowing movement of ions down their electrochemical gradients. Permeabilities and conductances obtained from the “chemical” measurements (i.e., ion-specific electrodes) were generally comparable to the values obtained from “electrical” measurements. Where discrepancies occurred, they could be explained by showing that some of the assumptions necessary to use the “electrical” method were not quantitatively true in this system. The absolute magnitudes of the permeabilities are significantly less than those found in many axonal preparations. There is also a relatively highP Na/P K ratio. The selectivity of the membraneagainst ions such as Tris+ and MeSO 3 − is not good, Tris+ being nearly as permeable as Na+ and MeSO 3 − about one-half as permeable as Cl−. These properties may be characteristic of somal membranes.
