To test whether or not the potassium permeability of the resting membrane is controlled by the excitable K channels (delayed rectifier), we examined changes in the Na and K permeability ratio, PNa/PK, of the squid axon before and after the excitable K channels were blocked. The blockage of the K channels was accomplished by three independent methods: internal application of tetraethylammonium, internal application of 4-aminopyridine plus Cs, and prolong internal perfusion of NaF solution. The permeability ratio was determined using two different methods: the conventional electrophysiological method and a new method based on the measurements of the hyperpolarizing effect of Na removal. We found that blocking the K channels did not cause a proportional decrease in the K permeability of the resting membrane, suggesting that the semipermeable property of the resting membrane is not determined by the excitable K channels.
为了测试静息膜的钾通透性是否受可兴奋钾通道(延迟整流器)控制,我们检测了乌贼轴突在可兴奋钾通道被阻断前后钠钾通透性比值(PNa/PK)的变化。钾通道的阻断通过三种独立方法实现:内部施加四乙铵、内部施加4-氨基吡啶加铯,以及延长NaF溶液的内部灌注时间。通透性比值通过两种不同方法测定:传统电生理方法和基于测量钠去除的超极化效应的新方法。我们发现阻断钾通道并未导致静息膜钾通透性成比例下降,这表明静息膜的半透性并非由可兴奋钾通道决定。
