Abstract
Electrogenicity of the Na pump was confirmed by injecting Na salts into a small cluster of A-V node cells. Injection of Na glutamate or Na acetate induced marked hyperpolarization, accompanying with cessation of spontaneous activity. The hyperpolarization exceeded EK in 27 mM K Tyrode solution and was inhibited by 10(-5) M strophanthidin. Injection of NaCl or NaI depolarized the membrane. These data showed that inward-going current carried by the injected anion antagonized the outward-going pump current and thus determined the net effect of the injection.Entities:
