Abstract

The effects of calmidazolium (10(-7) mol/l) and db cAMP (10(-3) mol/l) on the longitudinal internal resistance (ri) in the rabbit sinus node strips were studied by means of microelectrode and extracellular recording techniques. Calmidazolium (CDZ) decreased ri by 27%. An addition of db cAMP to the CDZ-containing Tyrode potentiated this effect by further 14%. db cAMP initially decreased ri by 17%, then it enhanced this resistance by 7% above the pretreatment control value. An addition of CDZ to the db cAMP-containing Tyrode reduced ri by 41% below the pretreatment control. Possible mechanisms underlying these effects were discussed in terms of cAMP, Cai, and calmodulin action on the cell coupling.
