  • Title: Effect of noradrenaline on current- and voltage-clamped muscle cells of the guinea-pig vas deferens in normal Krebs solution.
    Author: Mimata T, Inomata H.
    Journal: Eur J Pharmacol; 1989 Apr 12; 163(1):181-5. PubMed ID: 2744092.
    Abstract:
    The ionic mechanism underlying the time-dependent alteration in the action potential configuration by noradrenaline (NA) was studied using vas deferens muscles voltage-clamped according to the double sucrose gap method. Early exposure to NA enhanced the inward Ca2+ current (ICa) by increasing conductance whereas late exposure diminished ICa by reducing the driving force. The degree of increase in the peak outward K+ current (IK') was higher with a greater enhancement of ICa by NA but the late outward K+ current (IK) was insensitive to NA.
