The effects of phlorizin and phloretin on the cable properties were investigated in frog sartorius muscle by conventional cable analysis. Actions of phloretin on voltage-dependent ionic conductances were also studied by analysis of the phase plane trajectories. Both drugs evoked a significant decrease in specific membrane resistance (Rm) in chloride-containing Ringer's solution. The linear membrane capacitance increased by about 30%. On the contrary, in the presence of the non-penetrating anion, glutamate, a slight increase in Rm was induced by phlorizin. It is suggested that these drugs may increase the chloride conductance in the muscle membrane. Under the effect of phloretin the resting membrane potential remained unchanged but the amplitude of the action potential was lowered and the rate of repolarization was significantly reduced. The rate of depolarization during the "foot" of the action potential and the conduction velocity calculated from the rate constant of depolarization decreased. The maximum Na conductance was not altered by phloretin but K conductance was reduced. The time constant (tau K) reflecting the kinetic properties of K conductance was increased about seven-fold. It is suggested that great importance may be attributed to the dipole properties of these drugs in the actions presented above. |
