Depolarizing response of rat parathyroid cells to divalent cations

Membrane potentials were recorded from rat parathyroid glands continuously perfused in vitro. At 1.5 mM external Ca++, the resting potential averages -73 +/- 5 mV (mean +/- SD, n = 66). On exposure to 2.5 mM Ca++, the cells depolarize reversibly to a potential of -34 +/- 8 mV (mean +/- SD). Depolari...
