    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Es wurde der Einfluß von monomerem Methylmethacrylat (MMA) auf das Ruhe- und Summenaktionspotential des isolierten entscheideten N. ischiadicus des Frosches (Saccharose-Trennwand-Methode) untersucht. Oberhalb von 10 mM trat eine dosisabhängige Abnahme des Summenaktionspotentials und eine Hyperpolarisation der Membran auf, die mit zunehmender MMA-Konzentration anstieg (4.1 mV±0.2 S.E.M. nach 50 mM MMA). Die durch niedrige [Ca2+]0 oder Veratrin hervorgerufene Depolarisation ließ sich durch MMA rückgängig machen. Die homologen Äthyl-, Allyl- und n-Butylester waren wirksamer als MMA, der Isobutylester weniger wirkungsvoll, während Na-Methacrylat und Methacrylsäureamid keinen Einfluß zeigten. Voltage clamp Experimente am isolierten Ranvierschen Schnürring zeigten, daß 50 mM MMA zu einer Abnahme der Na+- und K+-Ströme führten.
    Notes: Abstract The influence of monomeric methylmethacrylate (MMA) on resting and compound action potential of the isolated desheathed sciatic nerve of the frog (sucrose gap method) was determined. Above 10 mM there was a dose-dependent decrease of the compound action potential and a hyperpolarization of the membrane which was augmented with increasing MMA concentrations (4.1 mV±0.2 S.E.M. after 50 mM MMA). The depolarization in low [Ca2+]0 solutions or with veratrine was reversed by MMA. The homologous ethyl, allyl and n-butyl esters were more effective than MMA, and the isobutyl ester less effective, whereas Na-methacrylate and methacrylamide showed no influence. Voltage clamp experiments on the node of Ranvier indicated that 50 mM MMA led to a decrease of the Na+ and K+ currents.

    Notes: Summary Voltage clamp experiments were performed on myelinated nerve fibres of Rana esculenta. The combined effects of increasing extracellular H+ concentration and lowering the Na+ concentration on sodium currents were studied. The presence of negative charges of two types at the external membrane surface could explain the observed shifts in theI Na-V curves and the reduction ofI Na induced by H+. Accordingly, from the data of shifts of the conductance voltage curves we calculate a density of −1e o/(20 Å)2 for unsepecific charges with an intrinsic pKa=4.3. From the reduction ofI Na induced by H+ we estimate a density of −1e o/Na channel for specific charges with an intrinsic pKa=4.5. Na+ ions would bind to these specific charges when passing through the sodium channels and Na+ transport would be blocked if these groups are protonated.
