Journal ArticleDOI
Amiloride: a potent inhibitor of sodium transport across the toad bladder
TL;DR: Amiloride inhibits Na transport and short‐circuit current (SCC) across the toad bladder through mucosal and serosal channels and is 1000 times more active at the mucosal than serosal surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mode of action of amiloride in toad urinary bladder. An electrophysiological study of the drug action on sodium permeability of the mucosal border.
Kunio Sudou,Takeshi Hoshi +1 more
TL;DR: The effect of amiloride on the sensitivity to Na of the mucosal border of toad urinary bladder was investigated by recording Na concentration-dependent transepithelial potential difference and the intracellular potential as mentioned in this paper.
Book ChapterDOI
Fugu (Puffer-Fish) Poisoning and the Pharmacology of Crystalline Tetrodotoxin in Poisoning
TL;DR: The white meat of fugu can please the Japanese palate without causing danger, because a very good technique was developed by the authors' ancestors for treating organs contaminated with its toxic substance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of the inhibitory effect of tetrodotoxin on the active sodium transport of the toad bladder.
TL;DR: It is suggested that TTX inhibits the active sodium transport of the toad bladder by suppressing the electron transport system of mitochondria.
A study of biochemical mechanisms involved in the neuromuscular blocking activities of saxitoxin and tetrodotoxin
Hopkins Iii.,Elwood Wilbur +1 more
TL;DR: A study of molecules involved in the neuromuscULAR blocking activities of xenitOXin and TETRODOTOXin finds that these molecules have different mechanisms of action according to their mode of action.
