Benham, C D, Bolton, T B, Lang, R J, Takewaki, T

Single-channel studies were made using the patch-clamp technique of K channels in dispersed single smooth muscle cells from rabbit longitudinal jejunal muscle and guinea-pig small (less than 0.2 mm...

Patch-clamp studies of slow potential-sensitive potassium channels in longitudinal smooth muscle cells of rabbit jejunum

Benham, C. D., Bolton, T. B.

1. The patch-clamp technique was used to study single channel currents in membrane patches of longitudinal smooth muscle cells of rabbit jejunum dispersed by collagenase treatment. Recordings were...

Time course of the initial [Ca2+]i response to extracellular ATP in smooth muscle depends on [Ca2+]e and ATP concentration.

Mahoney, M G, Slakey, L L, Benham, C D, Gross, D J

In response to extracellular application of 50 microM ATP, all individual porcine aortic smooth muscle cells respond with rapid rises from basal [Ca2+]i to peak [Ca2+]i within 5 s. The time from...

Effect of SB-205384 on the decay of GABA-activated chloride currents in granule cells cultured from rat cerebellum

Meadows, H J, Harries, M H, Thompson, M, Benham, C D

4-Amino-7-hydroxy-2-methyl-5,6,7,8,-tetrahydrobenzo[b]thieno[2,3-b]pyridine-3-carboxylic acid, but-2-ynyl ester (SB-205384) and other γ-aminobutyric acidA (GABAA) receptor modulators were tested for...

SB-205384: a GABAA receptor modulator with novel mechanism of action that shows subunit selectivity

Meadows, H J, Kumar, C S, Pritchett, D B, Blackburn, T P, Benham, C D

SB-205384, and its (+) enantiomer (+)-SB-205384 were tested for their modulatory effects on human GABAA receptor subunit combinations expressed in Xenopus oocytes by electrophysiological methods.The...

Comparison of the excitatory actions of substance P, carbachol, histamine and prostaglandin F2 alpha on the smooth muscle of the taenia of the guinea-pig caecum.

Benham, C. D., Bolton, T. B.

A comparison was made of the actions of substance P, prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha), histamine and carbachol on the membrane potential and conductance of the longitudinal smooth muscle of the...

Mutation of histidine 286 of the human P2X4 purinoceptor removes extracellular pH sensitivity

Clarke, C E, Benham, C D, Bridges, A, George, A R, Meadows, H J

Effects of external pH on the human P2X4 purinoceptor, an ATP-activated ion channel, were studied using the Xenopus oocyte expression system.Changing the external pH from 7·4 to 6·5 significantly...

Neuroprotective role of monocarboxylate transport during glucose deprivation in slice cultures of rat hippocampus

Cater, H L, Benham, C D, Sundstrom, L E

The effects of energy substrate removal and metabolic pathway block have been examined on neuronal and glial survival in organotypic slice cultures of rat hippocampus.Slice cultures resisted 24 h of...
