Difficulties Associated With The Study Of Action Potential After-Potentials In Rat Cultured Sensory Neurones, Ahmet Ayar, Roderick H. Scott

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

We investigated the properties of action potential after-potentials in cultured dorsal root ganglion neurones from neonatal rats using the whole cell patch clamp technique. The aims of this study were to characterize after-potentials and investigate the possible influences of Ca^{2+}-induced Ca^{2+}release (CICR) on neuronal excitability. The reversal potentials of action potential after-depolarizations and after-hyperpolarizations were estimated. Although evidence for both Ca^{2+}-activated chloride and potassium conductances was obtained, the data indicated that the after-potentials were contaminatied by a variety of distinct ionic events. Apamin was used to attenuate potassium conductances and appeared to enhance the after-depolarizations due to Ca^{2+}-activated chloride conductances. …

In Vivo Interaction Between Cadmium And Essential Trace Elements Copper And Zinc In Rats, H. Hakan Aydin, Canan Çoker, Bi̇ltan Ersöz

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

The complex in vivo interaction between Cd, a toxic metal and essential trace elements, mainly Zn and Cu, has not been elucidated yet. The objective being the elucidation of this interrelationship, Cd was subcutaneously administered as CdCI_2 (1 mg/kg/day) for 5 consecutive days to Swiss albino male rats (n=10). After 5 days, the rats were decapitated. Cd, Zn and Cu levels were estimated in hepatic, renal, cardiac and skeletal muscle specimens. Cd was found to be significantly elevated in all tissues (p< 0.001). Zn was increased in hepatic and renal tissues (p< 0.001 and p< 0.05) compared to the controls. Cu was also significantly increased in these tissues. Myocardial and skeletal muscle tissues also manifested a significant increase in Cu and Zn in this group. It is concluded that Cd administration alters the Zn and Cu status in vivo. However, the mechanism underlying the interactions between toxic and essential elements should be further investigated.
