    Abstract A mathematical treatment is given for the flux of ions of one charge sign across lipid bilayer membranes. This treatment is a generalization of a previous analysis of the membrane conductance by D. Walz, E. Bamberg and P. Läuger which was restricted to systems with negligible space charge in the membrane. The present theory includes space charge effects, and it is no longer assumed that the electric field strength in the membrane is constant. It is found that the ohmic membrane conductivity λ0 is reduced by space charges; if only ions of one charge sign are soluble in the membrane, λ0 approaches a limiting value for increasing concentration of the permeable ion in the aqueous solution. The theory also predicts the range in which the constant field approximation is valid. It is found that space charge effects become predominant when the mean concentration of the permeable ion in the membrane exceeds 5×10(-5) M. The currentvoltage characteristic of the membrane remains practically linear even in the presence of a high space charge. It is therefore concluded that the experimentally observed nonlinearity is caused mainly by the distortion of the potential energy profile of an ion due to image forces.

    Abstract Evidence is presented that the transport of lipid-soluble ions through bilayer membranes occurs in three distinct steps: (1) adsorption to the membranesolution interface; (2) passage over an activation barrier to the opposite interface; and (3) desorption into the aqueous solution. Support for this mechanism comes from a consideration of the potential energy of the ion, which has a minimum in the interface. The formal analysis of the model shows that the rate constants of the individual transport steps can be determined from the relaxation of the electric current after a sudden change in the voltage. Such relaxation experiments have been carried out with dipicrylamine and tetraphenylborate as permeable ions. In both cases the rate-determining step is the jump from the adsorption site into the aqueous phase. Furthermore, it has been found that with increasing ion concentration the membrane conductance goes through a maximum. In accordance with the model recently developed by L. J. Bruner, this behavior is explained by a saturation of the interface, which leads to a blocking of the conductance at high concentrations.

    Title translation Sodium channels in electrically excitable membranes.
    Abstract Properties of sodium channels in electrically excitable membranes can be obtained from sodium currents, gating currents, sodium-current fluctuations and currents through single channels. Gating processes in sodium channels are related to intramembranous charge displacements and are modified by toxins, local anaesthetics and chemical agents. From the results a schematic diagram of a sodium channel can be derived.

    Abstract In the hippocampus, pyramidal cells are more vulnerable than granule cells and interneurones to energy depletion during hypoxia and ischaemia. The aim of the present study was to explore whether this difference is related to the lower expression of adenosine 5'-triphosphate-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channels in pyramidal cells compared to other hippocampal neurones. Hippocampal slices were prepared from 10- to 13-day-old rats, and CAI pyramidal cells and interneurones of the stratum radiatum were visually and electrophysiologically identified. Energy depletion was produced by removing glucose from the bath or by inhibiting mitochondrial metabolism using rotenone. In the perforated-patch configuration, both protocols elicited outward currents in only a minority of the pyramidal cells but in most of the interneurones. The currents started to develop 9-57 min after glucose deprivation and 4-16 min after rotenone application and reversed near the K+ equilibrium potential. Bath-applied diazoxide (0.3 mM), an opener of K(ATP) channels, could activate additional currents. The sulphonylureas tolbutamide (0.5 mM) or glibenclamide (20 microM), two blockers of K(ATP) channels, totally inhibited the currents induced by energy depletion and activated by diazoxide. The results demonstrate the differential activation of K(ATP) channels during energy depletion in pyramidal cells and interneurones, and suggest that channel activation is neuroprotective against the deleterious effects of energy depletion.

    Abstract Several processes at biological membranes can be simulated by experiments with artificial lipid bilayer membranes.
