title: [Activation of the fast calcium input in the denervated smooth muscle of the cat nictitating membrane].
abstract: The excitation and contraction features of innervated and sympathetically denervated smooth muscle strips from cat's nictitating membrane have been studied by single sucrose gap arrangement. Increasing of smooth muscle cells sensitivity to drugs were accompanied by elevation of membrane response and the ability to generation of action potentials. Action potentials have been induced by agonists or high potassium concentration in external solution and spontaneously. In innervated muscle action potentials have been evoked as a result of depolarization by high potassium concentration of TEA blockade of potassium conductance. Induced and spontaneously generated action potentials were blocked by organic and inorganic antagonists of potential dependent Ca++ channels. In Ca-free solution action potentials were absent but might be supported by Ba++. Decrease of Na+ had no effect on smooth muscle excitability. It is supposed that activation of potential depended Ca++ channels in smooth muscle cells with pharmaco-mechanical coupling are under influence of sympathetic nerves.
