  • Title: [The effect of taurine on the electrically controlled ion channels of the somatic membrane of pond snail neurons].
    Author: Vislobokov AI, Mantsev VV, Kopylov AG, Gurevich VS.
    Journal: Fiziol Zh SSSR Im I M Sechenova; 1991 Feb; 77(2):37-42. PubMed ID: 1715296.
    Abstract:
    Isolated and internally dialysed neurons from the molluscs Lymnaea stagnalis were investigated under voltage-clamp conditions. The increasing of taurin concentration (from 1.10(-8) to 1.10(-2) mol/l) reduced the calcium inward--and delayed potassium outward currents, and exerted no effect on the fast potassium outward current. Sodium inward current was increased by taurin concentrations 1.10(-8)-1.10(-4) mol/l, and reduced by 1.10(-3)-1.10(-2) mol/l. Membrane leakage currents were reduced by small taurin concentrations and increased by large concentrations.
