We recently reported that arachidonic acid (AA) inhibits L- and N-type Ca(2+) currents at positive test potentials in the presence of the dihydropyridine L-type Ca(2+) channel agonist (+)-202-791 in… (More)
We have characterized the actions of arachidonic acid (AA) on whole cell and unitary calcium (Ca2+) currents in rat neonatal superior cervical ganglion (SCG) neurons using barium (Ba2+) as the charge… (More)
1. Single N-type calcium (Ca2+) channels in rat superior cervical ganglion neurons display complex patterns of activity in both inactivating and non-inactivating gating modes. Unitary currents were… (More)
We examined the effects of arachidonic acid (AA) on whole cell Ca(2+) channel activity in rat superior cervical ganglion neurons. Our companion paper (Liu L, Barrett CF, and Rittenhouse AR. Am J… (More)
In a combined electrophysiological and anatomical study, the parabolic burster neuron R15 was found to project axons through the genito-pericardial nerve onto the pericardial wall and digestive gland… (More)
Clotrimazole (CLT), a member of the antifungal imidazole family of compounds, has been found to inhibit both calcium (Ca2+)-activated 86Rb and potassium (K) fluxes of human red cells and to inhibit… (More)
Adrenergic, cholinergic, and a variety of peptide neurotransmitters are known to modulate Ca currents in peripheral neurons. Using a protocol that allows for simultaneous assessment of effects on… (More)
The antifungal agent clotrimazole (CLT) is a potent small-molecule inhibitor of Ca-activated K (KCa) currents of intermediate conductance in murine erythroleukemia cells. This study demonstrates that… (More)
Multiple types of voltage-activated calcium (Ca(2+)) channels are present in all nerve cells examined so far; however, the underlying functional consequences of their presence is often unclear. We… (More)
