A novel oxygen-sensitive potassium current in rat carotid body type I cells.
- Abstract:
-
1. Hypoxic stimuli depolarize carotid body type I cells causing voltage-gated calcium influx. This study investigates the cause of this membrane depolarization. Isolated type I cells from neonatal (11-16 day) rat carotid bodies were used in the experiments. 2. Tetraethylammonium (TEA; 10 mM), 1 and 5 mM 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) and 20 nM charybdotoxin all failed to evoke a significant rise in [Ca2+]i. Similarly, in perforated patch whole-cell recordings, a combination of 10 mM TEA and 5 mM 4-AP...
