Acetylcholine activates non‐selective cation and chloride conductances in canine and guinea‐pig tracheal myocytes.

Abstract

1. Membrane currents activated by acetylcholine (ACh) were investigated in isolated canine and guinea-pig tracheal myocytes using the nystatin perforated patch configuration of whole-cell recording. ACh caused depolarization accompanied by a membrane conductance increase. 2. When cells were held under voltage clamp (holding potential, Vh = -60 mV), ACh elicited inward current (IACh) of up to 3900 pA, with a reversal potential (Erev) of …
