Such stabilizing currents, in turn, depend on passive membrane conductance (Gm), which in skeletal muscle fibers covers membrane conductances for K+ (GK) and Cl\u2212 (GCl). Myotonic disorders and studies with metabolically poisoned muscle have revealed capacities of GK and GCl to inversely interfere with muscle excitability. However, whether regulation of GK and GCl occur in AP-firing muscle under normal physiological conditions is unknown. This study establishes a technique that allows the determination of GCl and GK with a temporal resolution of seconds in AP-firing muscle fibers. With this approach, we have identified and quantified a biphasic regulation of Gm in active fast-twitch extensor digitorum longus fibers of the rat. Thus, at the onset of AP firing, a reduction in GCl of \u223c70% caused Gm to decline by \u223c55% in a manner that is well described by a single exponential function characterized by a time constant of \u223c200 APs (phase 1). When stimulation was continued beyond \u223c1,800 APs, synchronized elevations in GK (\u223c14-fold) and GCl (\u223c3-fold) caused Gm to rise sigmoidally to \u223c400% of its level before AP firing (phase 2). Phase 2 was often associated with a failure to excite APs. When AP firing was ceased during phase 2, Gm recovered to its level before AP firing in \u223c1 min. Experiments with glibenclamide (KATP channel inhibitor) and 9-anthracene carboxylic acid (ClC-1 Cl\u2212 channel inhibitor) revealed that the decreased Gm during phase 1 reflected ClC-1 channel inhibition, whereas the massively elevated Gm during phase 2 reflected synchronized openings of ClC-1 and KATP channels. In conclusion, GCl and GK are acutely regulated in AP-firing fast-twitch muscle fibers. Such regulation may contribute to the physiological control of excitability in active muscle.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1085\/jgp.200910290","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,9,28]],"date-time":"2009-09-28T17:28:20Z","timestamp":1254158900000},"page":"309-322","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1085\/jgp.crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":67,"title":["Regulation of ClC-1 and KATP channels in action potential\u2013firing fast-twitch muscle fibers"],"prefix":"10.1085","volume":"134","author":[{"given":"Thomas Holm","family":"Pedersen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiology and Biophysics, Aarhus University, DK-8000 \u00c5rhus C, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Frank Vincenzo","family":"de Paoli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiology and Biophysics, Aarhus University, DK-8000 \u00c5rhus C, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John A.","family":"Flatman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiology and Biophysics, Aarhus University, DK-8000 \u00c5rhus C, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ole B\u00e6kgaard","family":"Nielsen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiology and Biophysics, Aarhus University, DK-8000 \u00c5rhus C, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"291","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,9,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023072921113806500_bib1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"471","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-201X.1968.tb10886.x","article-title":"A comparative study of membrane properties of innervated and chronically denervated fast and slow skeletal muscles of the rat","volume":"73","author":"Albuquerque","year":"1968","journal-title":"Acta Physiol.
