In guinea pig airways, anandamide stimulates sensory nerves by inducing depolarization. |
Replacement of NaCl for isosmotic sorbitol produced a slight depolarization of the membrane. |
The depolarization opens the L-type calcium channels, causing inflow of calcium through the membrane into the cytosol. |
Whereas increasing temperature accelerated fluorescence depolarization, increasing solvent viscosity slowed the process down. |
An increase in turgor also causes a depolarization in the turgor-regulating charophytes Chara longifolia and Lamprothamnium succinctum. |
In either case, there was no outward current through the channels during the depolarization. |
