Özet
The whole-cell recording technique was used to investigate the actions of a calcium release channel ligand, ryanodine, on calcium-activated chloride conductances, and to evaluate ryanodine-sensitive Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release from intracellular stores in cultured neonatal rat DRG neurones. The aim of the project was to use ryanodine as a pharmacological tool to evaluate calcium-induced calcium release in the cell bodies of cultured DRG neurones. Action potential after-depolarizations were attenuated by extracellular application of the chloride channel blocker, niflumic acid (10 mu M), and by ryanodine (10 mu M); these actions occurred without concurrent changes in evoked action potentials.
