Effects of glibenclamide on the control membrane ionic currents, acetylcholine or adenosine-induced K+ current, and nicorandil-induced K+ current were examined in single atrial myocytes of guinea pig heart. The nystatin-whole cell clamp technique was used. Nicorandil evoked the time-independent K+ current which is probably the current through the ATP-sensitive K+ channel. Glibenclamide inhibited this current in a concentration-dependent fashion, although it had no effect on the other currents. We concluded that glibenclamide specifically inhibits the ATP-sensitive K+ channel current in cardiac myocytes.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008564 Membrane Potentials The voltage differences across a membrane. For cellular membranes they are computed by subtracting the voltage measured outside the membrane from the voltage measured inside the membrane. They result from differences of inside versus outside concentration of potassium, sodium, chloride, and other ions across cells' or ORGANELLES membranes. For excitable cells, the resting membrane potentials range between -30 and -100 millivolts. Physical, chemical, or electrical stimuli can make a membrane potential more negative (hyperpolarization), or less negative (depolarization).
