Article Title: Activation of Voltage-Gated Na + Current by GV-58, a Known Activator of Ca V Channels
doi: 10.3390/biomedicines10030721
Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of GV−58 on spontaneous action potentials (APs) recorded from GH 3 cells. Cells were bathed in normal Tyrode’s solution, and the recording pipettes were filled with K + −containing solution. When whole−cell configuration was established, we switched to the whole−cell current clamp recordings to measure changes in membrane potential, as current was set at zero. ( A ) Representative potential traces achieved in the absence (upper) and presence of 1 μM GV−58 (middle) or 3 μM GV−58 (lower). ( B ) Summary graph demonstrating effect of ω−conotoxin MVIID, GV−58, and GV−58 plus ranolazine (Ran) on the firing frequency of APs in GH 3 cells (mean ± SEM; n = 8). * Significantly different from control ( p < 0.05) and ** Significantly different from GV−58 (3 μM) alone group ( p < 0.05). Statistical analyses were made in one−way ANOVA among different groups ( p < 0.05).
