WHEN frog skeletal muscle fibres are bathed in solutions containing Cs+and K+in the ratio 1 : 4,000, a reduction is observed in the size of inward K currents through the resting membrane. This effect is enhanced by an increase in either hyperpolarisation or external Cs+concentration. It can be predicted from these findings that regenerative changes in membrane potential should be obtainable in fibres, in the presence of Cs+, that are hyperpolarised by means of a current electrode. Such responses are described in the last part of this report. In squid axon and frog node1,2, internal Cs+produces a voltage-dependent block of the delayed, outward K currents, though the ratio of Cs+to K+required for this effect is far greater than that used in the experiments reported here. A closer parallel can be drawn between our findings and those recently reported on the inward K currents in the starfish egg cell3.
