    Notes: Abstract Cardiovascular effects in elderly depressed patients (age 62–78 years) treated with imipramine (N=11) or nortriptyline (N=10) were recorded by monitoring of heart rate, blood pressure, systolic time intervals, standard ECG and 24-h ECG. The two drugs exhibited distinctly different cardiovascular reactions. The use of imipramine was severely limited by orthostatic hypotension occurring at subtherapeutic plasma levels, which resulted in falls with fracture in two patients. In contrast, nortriptyline at therapeutic drug levels did not significantly influence orthostatic blood pressure regulation. Nortriptyline caused moderate changes in systolic time intervals, indicating impairment in myocardial contractility. This effect was not seen with imipramine, but a majority of the patients did not reach therapeutic plasma levels because of the blood pressure reactions. Neither imipramine nor nortriptyline induced changes in cardiac conduction time measurements or arrhythmias. In addition to the blood pressure reactions, the use of imipramine was complicated by dose dependent kinetics.

    Notes: Abstract Membrane potential and resistance were measured from two neighbouring electrically coupled cells within the same mouse pancreatic acinus, using one electrode filled with KCl and another filled with K-EGTA [ethylene glycol-bis-(β-amino ethyl ether) N,N′-tetra acetic acid] or K-acetate. EGTA was injected into one cell by passing pulses of hyperpolarizing current through the EGTA microelectrode. In order to ensure constant membrane potential, pulses of depolarizing current of the same intensity were simultaneously passed through the other electrode. Intracellular injection of EGTA, but not acetate, decreased significantly the membrane response (depolarization, resistance reduction) of both coupled cells to small microionophoretic pulses of ACh stimulation. Responses to larger doses were decreased to a smaller extent. Intracellular injection of EGTA also decreased significantly the membrane response of both coupled cells to microionophoretic pulses of pentagastrin stimulation. In contrast intracellular injection of EGTA did not inhibit membrane response tol-alanine stimulation.l-Alanine-evoked membrane depolarization was independent of external Ca. This is in contrast to what has previously been shown for secretagogue effects. It is concluded that EGTA-induced sequestration of cytosolic Ca2+ decreases membrane responses to both ACh and pentagastrin, providing new evidence of the crucial role played by internal Ca2+ in mediating stimulus-permeability coupling. In contrast,l-alanine action does not appear to be mediated by internal Ca2+.

    Notes: Abstract The effect of some neutrall-amino acids, alanine, valine and proline, on the pancreatic acinar cell membrane potential and resistance was investigated. Simultaneous recordings were made with two intracellular microelectrodes on isolated superfused segments of mouse pancreas. Amino acids were applied by inclusion at known concentrations in the superfusion fluid or by microionophoresis from extracellular micropipettes. l-Alanine (10 mmol·l−1) evoked a maximal membrane depolarization of about 18 mV. A just detectable depolarization was observed at 0.1 mmol·l−1 (3 mV). Halfmaximal depolarization was observed at 1.6 mmol·l−1.d-Alanine had virtually no effect. Microionophoretic applications ofl-alanine,l-valine orl-proline evoked depolarization and resistance reduction with a very short delay (〈50 ms). The dose response curves for depolarization and resistance reduction were similar. The amplitude of the depolarization evoked byl-alanine,l-valine andl-proline depended linearly on the level of the pre-set membrane potential (membrane potential could be changed by direct current injection). With decreasing intracellular negativity there was a decrease in the size of the amino acid-evoked depolarization. When the membrane potential was inside positive the amplitude became very small. Extrapolation of the linear relations between membrane potential and size of depolarization revealed a null potential of +20 to +45 mV. Thel-alanine-evoked depolarization was acutely reduced but not abolished by replacing extracellular Na by Tris or Li. l-Alanine,l-proline andl-valine exhibited mutual inhibition of evoked depolarization even when the depolarizing effect of the first applied amino acid was balanced by direct current injection. It is concluded that severall-amino acids act on the pancreatic acinar plasma membrane by opening conductance pathways mainly permeable to Na.

    Nervous control of membrane conductance in mouse lacrimal acinar cells (1984)

    Notes: Abstract Intracellular microelectrode recordings were made from superfused in vitro preparations of mouse lacrimal giand. The lacrimal acinar cell had a mean resting membrane potential of −44.1±0.5 mV and a mean input resistance of 3.5±0.15 MΩ. Electrical field stimulation (FS) had similar effects to ACh applied by microionophoresis, both evoking a biphasic membrane hyperpolarization (up to 15 mV) accompanied by a reduction in input resistance. The equilibrium potential values (EFS and EACh) for the responses to brief duration FS and ACh ionophoresis ranged between −45 and −75 mV and depended on the time at which measurements were made following the onset of stimulation. Superfusion of ACh or adrenaline also caused membrane hyperpolarization and increased membrane conductance. Estimations of EFS and EACh made during prolonged periods of FS and ACh superfusion yielded mean values of −53.9±1.9 mV and −53.4±1.5 mV respectively. FS evoked a response in all preparations tested with maximal effects seen at 40 Hz frequency. The mean latency of the FS-evoked hyperpolarization (40 Hz) was 270±21 ms and that for the ACh ionophoretic response was 400±65 ms. Low frequency FS (0.5–5 Hz) also induced membrane hyperpolarization and responses to single shock stimuli were occasionally observed. The FS-evoked hyperpolarization was abolished following the blockade of nerve conduction by superfusion of either Na-free or tetrodotoxin-containing media. Effects of FS were not seen in the presence of atropine. Neostigmine potentiated the FS- and ACh-evoked hyperpolarizations. Spontaneous miniature hyperpolarizations were unaffected by tetrodotoxin but abolished by atropine. It is concluded that FS excites a well developed cholinergic innervation of the mouse lacrimal gland resulting in ACh release and acinar cell hyperpolarization. ACh, which appears to be the only neurotransmitter released, mediates its effects by increasing plasma membrane permeability to mainly K ions.

    Notes: Abstract Single-channel current recordings were carried out on excised inside-out patches of baso-lateral plasma membrane from exocrine acinar cells. The mouse pancreas and submandibular gland as well as the pig pancreas were investigated. In the mouse pancreas the voltage-insensitive Ca2+-activated cation channel was studied. Single-channel current-voltage (i/v) relationships were studied in symmetrical Rb+-rich solutions and in asymmetrical Rb+/Na+ and Na+/Rb+ solutions. In all cases the i/v relations were linear and had the same slope representing a single-channel conductance of about 33 pS which is identical to that previously obtained with symmetrical Na+ solutions or asymmetrical Na+/K+ solutions. In the mouse submandibular gland and the pig pancreas the voltage and Ca2+-activated K+ channel was studied. The outward currents observed after depolarization in the presence of quasi-physiological Na+/K+ gradients were immediately abolished when all the K+ in the bath fluid was replaced by Rb+ (bath fluid in contact with inside of plasma membrane). This effect was immediately and fully reversible upon return to the high K+ solution. The voltage and Ca2+-activated K+ channel was also studied in asymmetrical K+/Rb+ and Rb+/K+ solutions. In the first case inward (K+) currents could be observed but not outward (Rb+) currents, while in the other case inward (Rb+) currents could not be seen whereas outward (K+) currents were measured. The current-voltage relationships were approximately linear and the null potential was close to 0 mV in both situations. In contrast the null potential for current through the K+ channel in the presence of asymmetrical Na+/K+ or Li+/K+ solutions was about −70 mV and with reversed gradients about +60 mV. Outward K+ currents of reduced size (through the voltage and Ca2+-activated K+ channel) could be observed when the bath fluid contained 75 mM K+ and 75 mM Rb+, but not (in the same membrane patches) when 150 mM Rb+ and no K+ was present. It is concluded that the large voltage- and Ca2+-activated K+ channel has an extremely low Rb+ conductance. It is possible, however, that the permeability for Rb+ may be about the same as for K+. The voltage-insensitive Ca2+-activated cation channel does not discriminate between K+ and Rb+.

    Notes: Abstract Intracellular recordings of membrane potential, input resistance and time constant have been made in vitro from the follicular cells of the rat, rabbit and guinea-pig thyroid glands using glass microelectrodes. The passive permeability properties of these cells have been investigated by altering the concentration of one or more ions in the superfusing fluid. Investigations into the intercellular coupling characteristics of the thyroid gland were made by inserting two microelectrodes into neighbouring communicating cells. The mean transmembrane potentials were between −60 and −70 mV in all three species studied. The magnitude of the membrane potential in the rat was found to be dependent mainly upon the gradient for potassium (K+) across the membrane. Current-voltage relationships were investigated in all three species by injecting rectangular de- or hyperpolarizing current pulses through the recording microelectrode. Within a relatively wide range (−20 to −80 mV), there was an approximately linear relationship between injected current and change in membrane potential. The input resistance was about 11 MΩ in all three species, while the time constant (τ) varied from 5–35 ms. Readmitting K to K-deprived rat thyroids during intracellular microelectrode recording caused a transient hyperpolarization which was unaccomapanied by any change in input resistance. The transient hyperpolarization was abolished by ouabain. Addition of 10−3 M ouabain to the resting cell caused an immediate depolarization of approximately 2 mV. Electrical coupling between neighbouring cells could only be observed if the distance between the tips of the two exploring microelectrodes was less than 15 μm. The coupling coefficient (V 2/V 1) was close to 1. Assuming uniform current spread within one follicle and electrical isolation of individual follicles from each other the specific membrane resistance of the rat thyroid follicular cells was calculated to be 4.9 kΩcm2.

    Notes: Abstract Direct effects of exogenously applied substance P on salivary acinar cells have been previously reported. This electro-physiological study confirms these direct effects in rat but not mouse parotid gland. We demonstrate that in the absence of autonomic blockade the peptide evokes marked responses which are blocked by atropine (10−6 M). These effects cannot be attributed to direct activation of acinar cells and are presumably due to release of acetylcholine from parasympathetic nerve endings. We consider that substance P, in addition to direct effects, could act to modulate neuronal activity in salivary glands; a role already assigned to the peptide in the central nervous system.
