Abstract: | AIM: To evaluate the effect of captopril on action potential duration and outward delayed rectification potassium current (Ik). METHODS: Action potentials were recorded using a conventional glass microelectrode filled with 3 mol/L KCl solution. Membrane patch clamp whole cell recording technique was used to investigate the Ik current maximum in the holding potential -50 mV, lasting time 100 ms, command potential +40 mV. RESULTS: The action potential duration of 30%, 50% repolarization (APD30, APD50) and ERP were significantly prolonged, but APD90 wasn't prolonged significantly when captopril group compared with ischemic group. The amplitude of Ik increased significantly in ischemic group, but significantly decreased in captopril group and in captopril+ischemic group. The shapes of current-voltage relationship were unchanged among groups, but significantly upward in ischemic group and downward in captopril and captopril+ischemic group. CONCLUSION: Captopril exerts electrophysiologic action due to decreasing delay outward rectification potassium current and prolonging action potential duration of APD30, APD50 and ERP. |
