Isolated guinea pig myocytes were loaded with the Na(+)-sensitive fluorescent probe, sodium-binding benzofuran isophthalate (SBFI). The 340/380 nm fluorescence ratios were measured with fluorescence microscopy. The distribution of intracellular Na+ concentration ([Na+]i) was homogenous, and the mean resting [Na+]i was 8.4 +/- 0.5 mM. There was a significant relationship (r = 0.66, p less than 0.001) between elevation of [Na+]i and shortening of longitudinal length of the cells, during the perfusion of 100 microM strophanthidin. It is concluded that this method is suitable for measuring [Na+]i in isolated myocytes.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008856 Microscopy, Fluorescence Microscopy of specimens stained with fluorescent dye (usually fluorescein isothiocyanate) or of naturally fluorescent materials, which emit light when exposed to ultraviolet or blue light. Immunofluorescence microscopy utilizes antibodies that are labeled with fluorescent dye. Fluorescence Microscopy,Immunofluorescence Microscopy,Microscopy, Immunofluorescence,Fluorescence Microscopies,Immunofluorescence Microscopies,Microscopies, Fluorescence,Microscopies, Immunofluorescence

D003593 Cytoplasm The part of a cell that contains the CYTOSOL and small structures excluding the CELL NUCLEUS; MITOCHONDRIA; and large VACUOLES. (Glick, Glossary of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1990) Protoplasm,Cytoplasms,Protoplasms
D004988 Ethers, Cyclic Compounds of the general formula R-O-R arranged in a ring or crown formation. Cyclic Ether,Cyclic Ethers,Ether, Cyclic
D005456 Fluorescent Dyes Chemicals that emit light after excitation by light. The wave length of the emitted light is usually longer than that of the incident light. Fluorochromes are substances that cause fluorescence in other substances, i.e., dyes used to mark or label other compounds with fluorescent tags.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
