[Pentobarbital interaction with the GABA-activated ion channels of the neurons in the rat cerebellum]
Abstract
GABA and barbiturate-activated currents of isolated single neurons in the rat cerebellum were studied by means of the concentration clamp, voltage clamp and intracellular perfusion methods. The dissociation constant (Kd) was 3 +/- 0.8.10(-5) M. Pentobarbital potentiated the GABA-induced conduction of isolated neurons. The dose-effect for GABA shifted along the abscissa axes. Optimal concentrations which potentiated the GABA effect were within 10(-6)-10(-4) M. The pentobarbital concentrations above 5.10(-4) M without GABA activated the Cl conductance. The short-time conductance during fast pentobarbital washing off was found to increase.
