X Abstract

The "patch-clamp" method was applied to rat ventricular cardiomyocytes to study the effect of endogenous cardiopeptides (a component of a cardiologic medicine "cardialin") on single K(+)-channel currents. It was noted that ATP-sensitive K(+)-channel activity increased only in the presence of 10(-8)-10(-6) mg.ml-1 peptide solution in the patch-clamp micropipette. To check up the suggestion that G-protein takes part in a direct reaction of K(+)-channel by external ligand we studied the effect of GTP-gamma-S (0.1 mM) in the presence of Mg2+ (1 mM) on the K(+)-channel in "run-down" state in the "inside-out" configuration. It was demonstrated experimentally that reactivation of the ATP-sensitive K(+)-channel develops in the presence of GTP-analogue.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
