1. The electrical properties of dissociated ultimobranchial cells from chick embryos (18‐20
days after fertilization) were studied using whole‐cell patch electrodes. Antibodies for …

The spontaneous electrical activity of calcitonin-secreting cells (C-cells) appears to play an
important role in the coupling of fluctuations in the extracellular Ca 2+ to changes in the …

Transmembrane ionic currents have been recorded in single granulosa cells from the laying
hen using the whole-cell patch-clamp technique. Under voltage-clamp conditions …

Publisher Summary This chapter describes the calcium current of a vertebrate neuron. The
existence of calcium currents in vertebrate sympathetic ganglion cells has been known for …

1. Whole‐cell Ca2+ currents in cultured bovine chromaffin cells were studied using patch‐
clamp electrophysiology. With Ba2+ or Ca2+ as the current carriers, two separate …

1. The activation of calcium (Ca2+)‐dependent potassium (K+) currents in dissociated rat
adrenal chromaffin cells was investigated using the dialysed cell recording technique. 2. Ca …

The whole cell version of the patch-clamp technique was used to identify and characterize
voltage-gated Ca2+, Na+, and K+ currents in the calcitonin-secreting human thyroid TT cell …

Calcitonin (CT)‐secreting cells (C‐cells) are remarkably sensitive to changes in the
extracellular Ca2+ concentration. In order to detect the mechanism by which C‐cells monitor …

THIS communication reports the observation that the membrane of bullfrog sympathetic
ganglion cells is capable of producing action potentials (calcium spikes) in an isotonic …

1. Calcitonin secretion is regulated by the external Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+] o) via a rise
in intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+] i). The mechanism which couples an increase in …
