Abstract: | Summary Human anterior pituitary cells derived from a somatotropin-secreting adenoma were capable of generating action potentials with Ca2+ and tetrodotoxin-sensitive Na+ components. A major fraction of the action current was carried by Na ions.We wish to thank Dr O. Sand for correcting the English and Miss Michiko Takano for technical assistance. We also acknowledge the collaboration of Dr S. Miyazaki in the electron microscope. |
