title: [Ethanol modifies the ion selectivity of sodium channels in the rat sensory neurons].
abstract: Ethanol was shown to decrease the reversal potential of tetrodotoxin-resistant (TTXr) and TTX-sensitive channels in short-term culture of the dorsal root ganglion cells. The ethanol led to alterations in ionic selectivity of the TTXr channels (its shifting from the X-th Eisenmann selectivity sequence to the XI-th one). The data obtained suggest that the findings were due to selectivity filter modification because of disturbed hydrogen bounds in the channel macromolecule.
