The Influence of External Potassium on the Inactivation of Sodium Currents in the Giant Axon of the Squid, Loligo pealei

Isolated giant axons were voltage-clamped in seawater solutions having constant sodium concentrations of 230 mM and variable potassium concentrations of from zero to 210 mM. The inactivation of the initial transient membrane current normally carried by Na+ was studied by measuring the Hodgkin-Huxle...
