Measurement of Intracellular Ionic Calcium Concentration in Guinea Pig Papillary Muscle

  • Chapter
Ion-Selective Microelectrodes and Their Use in Excitable Tissues

Abstract

The measurement of intracellular calcium has been greatly facilitated by the introduction of calcium-sensitive ligands. In this study we have used microelectrodes filled with a resin containing the Ca-sensitive neutral ligand ETH 1001 (Simon et al., 1978) to measure intracellular calcium concentration in guinea pig ventricular muscle.
