abstract：:The whole-cell patch clamp technique was used to investigate the actions of the opioid agonist U50488H on Ca2+ and K+ currents in differentiated NG108-15 cells. U50488H (5-50 microM) caused a concentration-dependent, reversible inhibition of high voltage-activated Ca2+ currents which persisted in the presence of nifed...
