| Abstract | Early events in individual hepatocytes of rat activated by adrenaline (10$^{−6}$M) and phenylephrine (10$^{−5}$M) have been investigated by quantitative image microfluorometry and microspectrofluorometry. Cationic DiOC$_{2}$ and anionic SqSC$_{4}$ probes have been used for image analysis and transmembrane potential (ΔΨ $_{p}$) estimation in real-time studies. Fluorescence spectra resulting from the accumulation of dyes in single cells were recorded. Based on the mean fluorescence intensity, the magnitude of ΔΨ $_{p}$ was calculated by Nernst equation adapted for lipophilic cationic probes. DiOC$_{2}$ has revealed that both hormones induce biphasic hyperpolarization of hepatocytes membrane with α-agonist phenylephrine causing ΔΨ $_{p}$ changes at higher amplitude. The first increase of ΔΨ $_{p}$ within 2 and 5 min (ΔΔΨ $_{p}$ = −8.6 ± 4.2 mV) apparently related to Na$^{+}$/K$^{+}$-ATPase activation by the Ca$^{2+}$-mobilizing hormone. The second peak of hyperpolarization (ΔΔΨ $_{p}$ = −13.2 ± 3.2 mV) between 25 and 30 min, after a transient decrease of ΔΨ $_{p}$ (ΔΔΨ $_{p}$ = 10.9 ± 4.3 mV) over 15 min experiment, probably is mediated by phenylephrine stimulating action on K$^{+}$-channels. K$^{+}$ channel blocker (Ba$^{2+}$ or 4-aminopyridine) as well as elevating of extracellular K$^{+}$ prevented the hyperpolarization. Modulation of PLD-dependent signal transduction pathway by 0.4 % butanol had a weak influence on the first increase of ΔΨ $_{p}$ but it abolished the second phase of hyperpolarization. That points to PLD involvement in the ΔΨ $_{p}$ fluctuations mediated by K$^{+}$-channels in response to phenylephrine. Based on SqSC$_{4}$, fluorescent parameters estimation of relative changes of ΔΨ $_{p}$ revealed similar character of time dependence with two phases of hyperpolarization. Synchronic fluctuation of ΔΨ $_{p}$ determined by oppositely charged probes demonstrate that the quantitative microfluorometry allows to evaluate slight ΔΨ $_{p}$ changes separately from ΔΨ $_{m}$ in non-excitable individual cells at the short-term hormone action. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
