Abstract excerpt
Simultaneous recordings of inward whole-cell Ca(2+) channel currents (I(Ca) ) and increments of capacitance as an indication of exocytosis (Delta(Cm)), were performed in voltage-clamped single adrenal chromaffin cells from wild-type and alpha(1A) subunit deficient mice, using the perforated-patch configuration of the patch-clamp technique. Using protocol #1 (one single Ca(2+) channel blocker per cell), to dissect...
