Abstract
Rat taste cells responded to relatively low concentrations of K-benzoate with a hyperpolarization and to the high concentrations with a depolarization. During both responses the membrane resistance of a taste cell decreased. Depolarization elicited by application of a combination of 0.25 M NaCl and 0.05 M K-benzoate was smaller than that by the NaCl alone, indicating a depressant action of K-benzoate.Entities:
