  • Title: Cytochalasin D as the depressant of contraction for the optical monitoring of action potentials in isolated rat atrium.
    Author: Sakai T.
    Journal: J Physiol Sci; 2006 Oct; 56(5):385-8. PubMed ID: 16968564.
    Abstract:
    We used cytochalasin D to reduce contraction-related optical signals by inhibiting muscle contraction for the optical monitoring of action potentials, using a voltage-sensitive dye in isolated rat atrium preparations. The suppression of contraction-related signals was so strong that we concluded that this chemical is suitable for this purpose.
