Abstract
Intracellular recordings showed that the resting membrane potential was reduced by van Harreveld solution containing glycerol (100 mM-2M). Changes in the external K concentration produced changes in membrane potential. The effective resistance of the cell membrane was decreased and local potentials were reduced, however, the latter was restored to normal by application of ATP dissolved in van Harreveld solution at a concentration of 0.1%.Keywords
