title: [Effects of temperature on the burst opening of voltage-dependent K+ channels in hypothalamic neurons].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To observe the effect of temperature on burst opening of voltage-dependent K+ channels(Kv) in hypothalamic neurons by cell-attached mode of patch-clamp technique.
  
  
  RESULTS
  With temperature raising, the number of burst opening increased, so did its average burst duration. B1 and B2 raised from 1.5 ms and 6.6 ms at 32 degrees C to 8.1 ms and 83.2 ms (P < 0.05) respectively while the open number of inter-burst, from 1-2 to 8 (P < 0.05) too. Instead of SB, CB displayed predominantly a kind of burst opening.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  More burst opening of Kv in hypothalamic neurons with temperature raising, this was benefited to the body temperature regulation of neurons on hypothalamus.
