Chapter
Transmembrane Currents in Capillary Endothelial Cells are Modulated by External Mg2+ Ions
The capillary endothelium of the brain is involved essentially in the preservation of the blood-brain barrier and in the regulation of brain microcirculation. As a biological membrane lining the inner wall of ...

Metabolic Inhibitors Affect the Conductance of Low Voltage-Activated Calcium Channels in Brain Capillary Endothelial Cells
The brain capillary endothelium plays an essential role in the preservation of the blood-brain barrier and in the control of blood microcirculation. Since hypoxia (Po2: 20 Torr) increases K+ conductance in brain ...

Evidence for Glucose Uptake in the Rabbit Carotid Body
The carotid body located in the bifurcation of the carotid arteries is able to detect gas changes in blood composition (PO2, PCO2/pH) and to transduce them into afferent nerve signal. The intimate mechanism respo...

Ionic Currents in Carotid Body Type I Cells and the Effects of Hypoxia and NaCN
Whole-cell currents of type I cells were characterized using the patch-clamp technique. At least four types of currents could be separated: 1) outward rectifying currents, which were sensitive to Cs+ and tetraeth...
