| Abstract | 1. The effects of imipramine on action potential characteristics and transient outward potassium current (It) of rabbit isolated atrial myocytes were studied using the whole-cell configuration of the patch-clamp technique. 2. Imipramine, 3 microM, decreased action potential amplitude and lengthened the action potential duration measured at 50% of repolarization, whereas it did not modify the final phase of repolarization or the resting membrane potential. These results are similar to those reported in multicellular rabbit atrial preparations. 3. Imipramine, 0.1-100 microM, induced a concentration-dependent inhibition of the peak amplitude of It, a shortening of the time to peak current and an increase in the inactivation rate. The acceleration of the current inactivation is to a major extent responsible for the decrease in the integral of the outward current measured at 50 ms after the start of the pulse. 4. The drug-induced block of It was not associated with changes in the voltage-dependence of the steady-state inactivation curve or in the process of recovery from inactivation of the current. Extrapolation to zero block shows that imipramine did not block It before its activation at the onset of the depolarization. These results suggested that imipramine does not affect the inactivated or the resting state of It channels. 5. It is concluded that in rabbit isolated atrial cells, imipramine inhibits It and that this effect is responsible for the lengthening of the action potential duration produced by this drug. |

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.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
